William Ayers: Advocacy and Activsm

"Lesson One: I Would Sing--Advocacy and Activism in Troubled Times" During troubled times, this is the fundamental message of the teacher: You can change your life. Wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done, the teacher invites you to build on all that you are, and to begin again. There is always something more to do, more to learn and know, more to experience and accomplish. You must change your life, and if you will, you can change your world.

Please join Professor Ayers, the UH Commission on the Status of Lesbian, Gay Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Equality, UH Manoa LGBT Student Services, UH Manoa Native Hawaiian Student Services, and Equality Hawaii in this unique opportunity to spark and inspire strategies to counter oppression and foster liberation.

This sense of opportunity and renewal—for individuals, for whole communities and societies—is at the heart of all teaching; it constitutes the ineffable magic drawing us back to the classroom and into the school again and again. Education, no matter where or when it takes place, enables people to become more powerfully and self-consciously alive; it embraces as principle and overarching purpose the aspiration of people to become more fully human; it impels us toward further knowledge, enlightenment, and human community, toward liberation. Education, at its best, is an enterprise that helps human beings reach the full measure of their humanity.

This event is made possible throught the generous support of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Diversity and Equity Initiative, Equality Hawaii, and Native Hawaiian Student Services.
