Dear MTD students,
There is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet and hear Eric Dozier as part of the Lou Douglas Lecture Series by UFM (see event and descriptions below). If anyone would like to meet at AJ’s Pizzeria this Wednesday, October 5th before his lecture that would be great! We will meet at 5:30pm. Unfortunately, this isn’t a sponsored meal and everyone will pay for their own, but we’d sure love the company and opportunity to get to know each other!
We’re almost halfway through the semester everyone! We’re very proud of you and are rooting for your well being and success!

Praise, Protest, and Purpose: Music as Cultural ActivismWednesday, October 5th • 7 pm • Douglass Activity Center, 925 Yuma St
Equal parts live performance, lecture, and revival meeting, this Lou Douglas Lecture series is a unique way of experiencing the impact of music on American culture, identity, and social progress. Through his wealth of experience working with groups of all ages and his unique blend of Down and Dirty Blues, Socially Conscious Soul, and Spirit Fueled Gospel Music, cultural activist, and musician Eric Dozier takes you on a journey. He shines a light at the crossroads of music and American race relations by performing songs and discussing key musical figures and themes from the Abolitionists, Civil Rights, labor and anti-war movements, as well as other contemporary voices of change both within the US and internationally. By the end, participants understand what it means to be an active and creative advocate of diversity and equity imbued with a renewed sense of mission and commitment to showing the world what community SOUNDS like.
