Among his roles in such notable movies as Lord of the Rings, X-Men, and The Da Vinci Code, Sir Ian  McKellan is also a well-respected stage actor in his native UK. He started his career on stage while attending Cambridge. He has received numerous awards for his performances, including multiple Lawrence Olivier awards, the Golden Globe, Academy Award nominations, and Emmy Award nominations. In 1993, McKellan portrayed Bill Kraus in the television movie And The Band Played On about the discovery of the AIDS virus. He came out to the public regarding his sexual orientation in 1988, although his preferences were already known to many of his colleagues. Since then, McKellan has continued to be a strong activist in the LGBTQ community. He is co-founded of Stonewall, an LGBTQ lobby group in the UK; he is also a patron of LGBT History Month, Pride London, GAY-GLOS, and others. He is to next be featured in returning roles as Gandalf in the Hobbit series and as Magneto in “X-Men: Days of Future Past” with  Michael Fassbender. Stephen Donaldson, born Robert Anthony Martin Jr. and as known as “Donny the Punk,” spent much of his childhood traveling around the US and Germany due to his father’s career as a naval officer. By the age of 18, Donaldson realized that he was homosexual and that the knowledge could affect his whole life; later in life he identified as a bisexual after falling in love with a woman. In August of 1965 he entered Columbia University under the pseudonym “Stephen Donaldson.” The following year, along with fellow gay student James Millham, Donaldson attempted to form the first homophile student group on Columbia’s campus. After some initial difficulty, the country’s first gay rights group was officially found on April 19, 1967. Donaldson spent much of his professional career as a writer, legislative intern, and a Navy radioman. He spent some time in jail, where he was assaulted and ultimately contracted AIDS. For the rest of his life, until his death in 1996, Donaldson worked as a writer and activist for prisoners assaulted with incarceration.—Submitted by Diversity Task Force (03/20/13) |
LBGTQ Awareness
Who doesn’t know Anne Hathaway these days? Recent Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress, Hathaway is well known for her roles in “The Princess Diaries,” “The Devil Wears Prada,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” and “Les Misérables.” But did you also know that Hathaway is an LGBT activist? In 2008, while being honored at a Human Rights Campaign dinner, she spoke about her family’s reaction to her older brother Michael’s admission to being gay. After her 2012 wedding, proceeds from selling her wedding photos was donated to Freedom to Marry, a campaign to give gay couples the right to marry. Other charities Hathaway campaigns for include American Cancer Society, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and The Girl Effect. Chris  Hughes, at the age of 29, has accomplished much in his life. Graduating from Harvard with a Bachelor’s of Arts in history and literature, Hughes is a co-founder of Facebook and native of Hickory, NC; currently he is the editor-in-chief of The New Republic magazine. He is also an openly gay man. During President Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign, Hughes acted as coordinator for the then candidate’s online social media campaign. In addition to his editor-in-chief duties, Hughes is the executive director of Jumo (a non-profit social network organization he founded) and one of a 17-member commission for UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS). In 2012, he was named one of LGBT History Month’s featured icons. —Submitted by Diversity Task Force (03/13/13) |

Did you know that
colleges that foster diversity improve their students’ learning and critical
thinking skills? Further, Paul Umbach and George Kuh (2006) also find that
"[e]xperience with diversity also appears to be positively associated with
retention rates and degree aspirations" as well as "overall satisfaction
with the college experience and perceptions of the campus climate." In
addition, cognitive development and social psychologists Patricia Gurin and
her colleagues (2002), and Tony Bledsoe (2009) demonstrate that students who
are immersed in diversity courses and diverse campus environments will be
more likely to recognize inequality and act on resolving it; live and work
in racially and ethnically diverse communities after they graduate; and be
better prepared for life in an increasingly complex and diverse society. For

Garrett Morgan 1877–1963
(African-American Inventor)
Invented: Gas mask, and a type of traffic light
Garrett Morgan was an inventor and businessman from Cleveland who
 invented
a device called the Morgan safety hood and smoke protector in 1914. On July
25, 1916, Garrett Morgan made national news for using his gas mask to rescue
32 men trapped during an explosion in an underground tunnel 250 feet beneath
Lake Erie. Morgan and a team of volunteers donned the new "gas masks" and
went to the rescue. After the rescue, Morgan’s company received requests
from fire departments around the country who wished to purchase the new
masks. The Morgan gas mask was later refined for use by U.S. Army during
World War I. In 1914, Garrett Morgan was awarded a patent for a Safety Hood
and Smoke Protector. After witnessing a collision between an automobile and
a horse-drawn carriage, Garrett Morgan took his turn at inventing a traffic
signal. Other inventors had experimented with, marketed, and even patented
traffic signals, however, Garrett Morgan was one of the first to apply for
and acquire a U.S. patent for an inexpensive to produce traffic signal.

Dr. Mae C. Jemison, First
Female African-American Astronaut
After graduating from Morgan Park High School in 1973 at the age of 16, Dr.
Mae Jemison earned a BS in chemical engineering from Stanford University,
while also fulfilling the requirements for a BA in African- American
studies. After earning these degrees in 1977, she attended Cornell
University and received a doctor of medicine degree in 1981. She enrolled in
graduate classes in engineering and applied to NASA for admission to the
astronaut program. She was turned down on her first application, but
persevered and in 1987 was accepted on her second application. She became
one of the 15 candidates accepted from over 2,000 applicants. When Dr.
Jemison successfully completed her astronaut training program in August
1988, she became the fifth black astronaut and the first black female
astronaut in NASA history. Her technical assignments included: launch
support activities at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida; verification of
shuttle computer software in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory
(SAIL), Science Support Group activities. Dr. Jemison was the science
mission specialist on STS-47 Spacelab-J (September 12-20, 1992). STS-47 was
a cooperative mission between the United States and Japan. The eight-day
mission was accomplished in 127 orbits of the Earth, and included 44
Japanese and U.S. life science and materials processing experiments. Dr.
Jemison was a co-investigator on the bone cell research experiment flown on
the mission. The Endeavour and her crew launched from and returned to the
Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In completing her first space flight, Dr.
Jemison logged 190 hours, 30 minutes, 23 seconds in space, making her the
first African-American woman in space.

The Origins
of Black History Month
What we now call Black History Month
originated in 1926, founded by Carter G. Woodson as Negro History Week. The
month of February was selected in deference to Frederick Douglass and
Abraham Lincoln who were both born in that month. Carter G. Woodson was born
in New Canton, Virginia, on December 19, 1875, and was the son of a slave.
He began high school at the age of 20 and then proceeded to study at Berea
College, the University of Chicago, the Sorbonne, and Harvard University,
where he earned a PH.D in 1912. He founded the Association for the Study of
Negro Life and History in 1915 to train black historians and to collect,
preserve, and publish documents on black life and black people. He also
founded the Journal of Negro History (1916), Associated Publishers (1922),
and the Negro Bulletin (1937). Woodson spent his life working to educate all
people about the vast contributions made by black men and women throughout
history. Mr. Woodson died on April 3, 1950 and Black History Month is his
legacy.

100th
Anniversary of International Women’s Day
March 8, 2011 is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day (IWD).
IWD is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women
are recognized for their achievements without regard to
divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or
political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and
accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped
potential and opportunities that await future generations of women. The
growing international women’s movement, which has been strengthened by four
global United Nations women’s conferences, has helped make the commemoration
a rallying point to build support for women’s rights and participation in
the political and economic arenas. Increasingly, IWD is a time to reflect on
progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and
determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the
history of their countries and communities. Over the years, the UN and its
technical agencies have promoted the participation of women as equal
partners with men in achieving sustainable development, peace, security, and
full respect for human rights. The empowerment of women continues to be a
central feature of the UN’s efforts to address social, economic and
political challenges across the globe. To learn more, visit the UN web site

February is African-American
History Month
African-American History Month started as Negro History Week and was first
celebrated a week in February 1926 that encompassed the birthdays of both
Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas. By 1950, Negro History Week had
become a central part of African-American life and substantial progress had
been made in bringing more Americans to appreciate the celebration. The
Black Awakening of the 1960’s and the Civil Rights movement focused all
Americans on the subject of the contributions of African-Americans to our
history and culture. The celebration was expanding to a month in 1976 and
President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor
the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every endeavor
throughout our history." Since then each American president has issued
African-American History proclamations. (Excerpt from an essay by Daryl
Michael Scott, Howard University, for the Association for the Study of
African American Life and History)

National
Hispanic American Heritage Month
The MCC Diversity Task Force is celebrating National Hispanic American
Heritage Month in September. In 1968 President Lyndon Johnson signed an act
establishing National Hispanic Heritage Week, which became National Hispanic
American Heritage Month in 1989. According to the Law Library of Congress,
"National Hispanic Heritage Month" celebrates and recognizes the
contributions Hispanic Americans have made to American society and culture
and to honor five of our Central American neighbors who celebrate their
Independence days in September." September 15 is Independence Day in Costa
Rico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, and Mexico celebrates
its independence on September 16. The histories and cultures of the United
States and our southern neighbors are deeply intertwined; therefore, it is
important to study, learn, and discover the traditions, customs, and
experiences of the varied groups of Hispanic Americans. To that end, the
Diversity Task Force event team for National Hispanic American Heritage
Month—Eduardo Garcia and Roxanne Newton—has planned a series of events,
including films and discussion groups for the month of September. In
addition, Eduardo Garcia researched and planned an informative poster,
designed by Judy Phillips, which features noted Hispanic-American leaders.
The poster will be distributed and posted on campus. Check the MCC website

Labor
Day—Celebrating Workers’ Contributions to the U.S.
On Monday, September 6, the United States will celebrate the national
holiday in honor of organized labor and the achievements of American
workers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the holiday originated
in New York City on September 5, 1882 and was organized by the Central Labor
Union of New York. Other industrial cities soon followed New York’s example.
By 1894, 23 states had adopted the holiday, and that same year the United
States declared a national Labor Day holiday. "The vital force of labor
added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest
production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the
realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy.
It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to
the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership—the
American worker." [The quote is excerpted from the Department of Labor web
site at www.dol.gov.]

March is
National Women’s History Month
As the College commemorates
and celebrates the lives and work of women, perhaps we should consider why
we should study women’s history. The National Women’s History Project first
proposed the idea 30 years ago. Their rationale is expressed in the
following quotation: "In our own personal lives, the National Women’s
History Project encourages discovering stories about our mothers,
grandmothers, and great grandmothers to help us better understand their
lives, the challenges they faced, and ultimately, ourselves and our own
times. Recognizing the dignity and accomplishments of women in our own
families and those from other backgrounds leads to higher self-esteem among
girls and greater respect among boys and men. The results can be remarkable,
from greater achievement by girls in school to less violence against women,
and more stable and cooperative communities. The impact of women’s history
might seem abstract to some, and less pressing than the immediate struggles
of working women today. But to ignore the vital role that women’s dreams and
accomplishments play in our own lives would be a great mistake. We draw
strength and inspiration from those who came before us and those remarkable
women working among us today. They are part of our story, and a truly
balanced and inclusive history recognizes how important women have always
been in American society."

National
African-American History Month
National African-American History Month in February celebrates the
contributions that African-Americans have made to American history in their
struggles for freedom and equality and deepens our understanding of our
Nation’s history. Harvard-educated historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson
successfully promoted the first Negro History Week in 1926..."At
mid-century, mayors of cities nationwide issued proclamations noting Negro
History Week... [and later] the Civil Rights movement focused Americans of
all colors on the subject of the contributions of African-Americans to our
history and culture." During the nation’s bicentennial in 1976, the
celebration of black history was expanded to a month. "President Gerald R.
Ford urged Americans to ‘seize the opportunity to honor the too-often
neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor
throughout our history.’ By this time, the entire nation had come to
recognize the importance of Black history in the drama of the American
story. Since then each American president has issued African-American
History Month proclamations." The Association for the Study of
African-American Life and History, founded by Dr. Woodson, continues to
promote the study of Black history all year. Excerpted from the US

Multi-Cultural
Education, Part 3
"Educators, educational theorists, researchers, activists, and everyone else
must continue to practice and apply multicultural teaching and learning
principles both inside and out of the classroom. We must not allow the
knowledge that most people working in schools are well-intentioned to lead
us to assume that our schools are immune to the oppression and inequity of
society. We must ask the unaskable questions. We must explore and
deconstruct structures of power and privilege that serve to maintain the
status quo. In a sense, multicultural education uses the transformation of
self and school as a metaphor and starting place for the transformation of
society. Ultimately, social justice and equity in schools can, and should,
mean social justice and equity in society. Only then will the purpose of
multicultural education be fully achieved." Professor Paul C. Gorski, George
Mason University.

Multi-Cultural
Education, Part 2
"As an educator, I have a dual responsibility to engage in a critical and
continual process to examine how my prejudices, biases, and assumptions
inform my teaching and thus affect the educational experiences of my
students. I have a responsibility to myself to study and understand the
lenses through which I understand the people and happenings around me. Only
when I have a sense for how my own perceptions are developed in relation to
my life experiences can I truly understand the world around me and
effectively navigate my relationships with colleagues. I also have a
responsibility to my students to work toward eliminating my prejudices,
examining who is (and is not) being reached by my teaching style, and
relearning how my own identity affects their learning experiences. To be an
effective multicultural educator, and indeed an effective educator, I must
be in a constant process of self-examination and transformation."

Multi-Cultural
Education
As an open-access public institution that serves a multicultural population
of students from a diverse community, the employees and students at Mitchell
Community College must strive continually to examine and improve our
policies and practices to be more inclusive. Adopting the principles of
multicultural education is an ideal way to achieve that aim. According to
George Mason University professor Paul Gorski, "Multicultural education is a
progressive approach for transforming education that holistically critiques
and addresses current shortcomings, failings, and discriminatory practices
in education. It is grounded in ideals of social justice, education equity,
and a dedication to facilitating educational experiences in which all
students reach their full potential as learners and as socially aware and
active beings, locally, nationally, and globally. Multicultural education
acknowledges that schools are essential to laying the foundation for the
transformation of society and the elimination of oppression and injustice."

At MCC, faculty
strive to teach our classes so that no individual student feels excluded on
the basis of real or perceived differences. Guidelines for inclusive
teaching may be found in a wonderful resource, “Teaching for Inclusion,”
from the Center for Faculty Excellence at UNC. Some suggestions include:
-
Get to know your students as individuals rather than as representatives of
particular groups.
-
Never ask a student to speak for a whole group (e.g., for women, for
Hispanics, for Muslims).
-
Accommodate different learning styles and promote collaboration between
students.
-
Do
not let injurious statements pass without comment.
-
Allow students to disagree with you or others, but within guidelines that
promote a safe learning atmosphere in the classroom.
-
Reflect diverse backgrounds on your syllabus, in your readings, and in
other materials such as visual aids.
-
Depersonalize controversial topics and structure assignments to let
students choose topics with which they are comfortable.
-
Understand why you have designed your syllabus in the way that you have.
-
Make your course goals clear to all students and give continual feedback
on how students are meeting them.
