Kathy Wilson is coming to speak to the Miami University community on
March 3rd at the Art Museum at 8pm. Her lecture is entitled
"Strangefruit: Hanging Truths out to Dry."

Kathy writes a weekly column entitled "Your Negro Tour Guide" for CityBeat
and recently has a book out of the same name.

The lecture will address the international dismissal of black women (from
illiterate black women in crisis in Haiti to the rape of black girls
orphaned in Africa) and the threat to white male entitlement in
America. It will lace in some gumbo about classism, homophobia and racism
and the work Miami's campus can do to stem the tide of each, especially
considering MU's rich Civil Rights history.

This will all be wrapped in the brittle ribbon of selected readings
from her new book "Your Negro Tour Guide". It will enforce the
significance of globalism; that no campus is an island. A reception and
book signing will follow.

Sponsored by the Robert Hamilton Bishop Debate Society and Students for
Peace & Justice.
