100 YearS oF HoPe WITH FSU THeaTre Florida State University’s School of Theatre production of One Hundred Years of Hope is running March 31 to April 2 at FSU Conradi Theatre. The theatre is located in the Williams building at the in-tersection of Jefferson and Copeland Streets. Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets ($5.00) are available by contacting the FSU School of Theatre Box office (850-644-6500) or go to http://tickets.fsu.edu/. Conceived and written by FSU doctoral students, Devair Jeffries and Deborah Kochman, One Hundred Years of Hope is a collaborative production that explores how race was viewed during the tumultuous Civil Rights era, how it is viewed in the current allegedly post racial era and how people hope it will be viewed in 2065. The show conveys the experiences and beliefs of people who were young adults during 1965 and compares them with those of young adults in 2015 encountering related issues. In order to create a manageable script, Deb and Devair combined historical and contemporary research about civil rights action with the result of community in-terviews from multi-generational perspectives. Their goal was (and is) to put people into "conversation" who might not otherwise find a way to engage in meaningful dis-course about difficult topics, particularly racial violence.

PUBlIC TalK WITH NoBel PeaCe laUreaTeWhen Rigoberta Menchú Tum was 20 years old, her
brother was arrested, tortured and killed by the Guatemalan army, beginning years of persecution during a coup that sparked 30 years of dictatorship, war and violence. Born to a poor family of the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture on Jan. 9, 1959, Menchú grew up in Chimel, a vil-lage in the north-west mountains of Guatemala. The traumatic events of her young adult
life led to a lifetime to activism and peaceful resistance that earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. She was the first indigenous person to receive the honor and one of only a handful of women. Menchú will speak at Florida State University on Friday, April 8 at 6 p.m. at the Augustus B. Turnbull III Florida State Conference Center. The public talk, titled “Healing Communities Torn by Racism and Hate,” will discuss how today’s society is affected by racism and hate and how we can work to alleviate suffering and oppression. Menchú will be on campus for a conference of PeaceJam Southeast, a program hosted by the university’s Center for Leader-ship & Social Change. There will be a reception following the talk sponsored by the College of Social Work and the Center for Graduate Students. Menchu will also hold a book signing at that time.
