On Monday, Jan. 16, 2017, Shoreline Community College will be closed to observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. On this day, we pause to join our nation in honoring the life and legacy of an African-American leader whose vision of freedom and justice continues to inspire us.
At Shoreline, we are dedicated to creating a campus environment that reflects excellence in education, equity, inclusiveness, and self-reflection. As we remember Dr. King’s lifelong example and tireless work for equality, may his words that inspire our Community Standard remind us that our actions make a positive difference in the lives we touch each day.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly …” — Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Bread and Circuses: Exploring the Legacy of the “Real” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Darryl Brice
12:30pm-1:30 p.m. in PUB 9208
In contemporary society, Dr. King’s legacy has been reduced to a handful of palatable sound bites. For example, almost everyone who knows Dr. King can quote a line or two from his “I Have a Dream” speech. However, the part of that speech that critiqued racial and economic injustice is rarely acknowledged. Similarly, most of Dr. King’s more radical speeches and writings on topics like the Vietnam War, creative maladjustment, and poverty are omitted from most dialogues about his life and legacy. This presentation will explore how and why this myopic view of Dr. King has become the most popular and accepted version of a civil rights leader whose politics and actions were radical and counter to the status quo then and now.
Wednesday – January 18th, 2017
Listening to our Narratives: Dialogue skills for tough conversations
10:30-11:20 a.m. in PUB 9208
Come to this interactive workshop to learn how to engage in dialogue instead of debate. How do we share our stories to move toward common ground. With Shoreline Professor, Brooke Zimmers.
Reconstructing Resistance: Fighting White Nationalism and Racism with professor Kate Boyd
11:30 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. in PUB 9208
This workshop provides an anti-fascist framework for understanding the rise of white nationalism in the current moment. Participants will unpack commonly held myths about white nationalism while learning about the history of the movement and its current efforts to mainstream. Grounded in an understanding of cultural organizing, we will explore how white nationalists have engaged culture and participants will develop their own anti-racist and anti-fascist cultural organizing practices. Participants will leave with concrete strategies to disrupt, defuse, and dismantle white nationalism and racism.
Film Showing 14: Dred Scott, Wong Kim Ark & Vanessa Lopez
12:30-2:30 p.m. in PUB 9208
The documentary film 14: Dred Scott, Wong Kim Ark & Vanessa Lopez explores the recurring question about who has the right to be an American citizen. 14 examines the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment through compelling personal stories and expertly-told history. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside ”Descendants of Dred and Harriet Scott and those of Wong Kim Ark tell the stories of how their ancestors fought all the way to the Supreme Court and changed American history. Q&A following film hosted by the Alliance of Latin American Students (ALAS)
March/Rally Debrief

Poetry and Writing Appreciation
9:30am – 10:20am in PUB 9208
We’ll spend this time celebrating a work or works by one or two key African American writers. We’ll examine their use of language, imagery, metaphor, rhythm, rhyme, and other literary features; their engagement with social and political issues; their existential confrontation with suffering; and their ability to craft something beautiful and lasting. Potential authors include Gwendolyn Brooks, Toni Cade Bambara, and Douglas Kearney. Shoreline Faculty member Davis Oldham will Facilitate.
The Food Pantry Kick-off
11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. in PUB 9201 & 9202
Shoreline Community College is committed to meeting the needs of our students. In response to students facing food insecurity, Shoreline will be expanding students’ access to The Food Pantry. We will be having a kick-off event during MLK week and students who are facing food insecurity will be able to access food, general items, and other resources. Sponsored by Center for Equity and Engagement and Student Leadership.
Film Showing: 13th – Q&A with the Black Student Union
11:30 a.m. – 1:20 p.m. in PUB 9208
The title of Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.
“Echao p’alante”: Working Towards an Inclusive and Intersectional Understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement
1:30pm- 2:30pm in PUB 9208
The Civil Rights Movement simply did not just start in 1954 and end in 1964. Our primary school education, history books, and associated media have in many ways collapsed and limited our understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement by esteeming certain types of action and actors while vilifying others often at the expense of the collaborative movements that many have worked so hard to build. This workshop will draw on multiple forms of media in order to contextualize and highlight multiple forms of resistance and sustained struggle against oppression culminating in all of the participants working together to build an inclusive and intersectional visual timeline of the civil rights movement. Presented by BSU Advisor, Jessica Gonzalez.

Shoreline Community College has been made aware that financial aid students across the Washington State community and technical college system have received a phone call from someone who identifies themselves only as “Federal Aid”. The caller leads the student to believe that they must provide sensitive information, like their social security number and/or debit card information, before their aid can be processed. These calls are NOT from Shoreline. If you receive a call like this please do not provide any personal information.
Communications from Enrollment and Financial Aid Services at Shoreline Community College are sent directly to students’ go.shoreline.edu email accounts. If we contact you by phone, we will always identify ourselves by name and tell you that we are calling from Shoreline Community College.

Statement by the artist, Caroline Kapp…
“I am photographer who draws a lot.
When I visited the SCC Art Gallery for the first time, I saw the panel gallery walls as something other than empty space on which to hang a picture. I saw rectangular containers that mimic how I sketch and develop ideas.
The title concept of “STAGES” refers to what you see in the physical exhibit: one stage of my photographic process, exhibited as wall-based installations. Each panel has been staged with subject matter to be captured in-camera as a photograph.
As an interactive component of this show, I welcome viewers to view the finished photographs resulting from these staged panels, viewable online starting January 11th. Scanning the QR codes with any smartphone reader app will take you to the finished photo and allow you to compare to the transformation from the physical exhibit “stage” you see in the gallery.”
