The inaugural group of Antioch
College Morgan Fellows announced today that they would be hosting the
first in a series of symposia, to be held during the course of the
2009/10 academic year. The first symposia, “The Daily Struggle of
Immigrant Workers,” will take place in The Coretta Scott King Center
for Cultural and Intellectual Freedom, One Morgan Place, Yellow
Springs, Ohio.
“This issue has national importance and implications and also resonates
within our own geographic community. The increasingly acrimonious
national immigration debates reverberate throughout Ohio,” says Anne
Bohlen, Morgan Fellow ’09. “Many citizens are working for immigration
reform and assisting the growing communities of immigrants throughout
the state. Antioch College has historically educated students to
become engaged citizens in their communities, to have a commitment to
social justice and equality, and to act to redress inequalities and
injustice.”
