新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 200th anniversary is already well underway, but there鈥檚 so much more in store for the university鈥檚 milestone year, including a forum with legendary U.S. civil rights leader Angela Y. Davis.听

Dr. Davis, an academic and author well known for her activism during the countercultural heyday of the 1960s, will visit campus as part of the university鈥檚 Belong Forum series.听

Norma Williams, executive director of diversity and inclusiveness at Dal, says the forum will provide an opportunity to learn from an individual with incredible firsthand experience in the fight for equality.

鈥淕rowing up in an area of Birmingham often bombed by the Ku Klux Klan, she did not allow the group鈥檚 hatred to negatively determine her life鈥檚 path,鈥� says Williams. 鈥淚nstead she looked to the examples within her home and community and used her life and learned skills to combat all forms of oppression and exclusion in the search for a truly democratic society.鈥�

More unique perspectives

Several other high-profile speakers have been added to the series as well, including Olympic gold medalist, author and human rights champion Mark Tewksbury () as well as professor and autism advocate Temple Grandin (). Canadian Senator Murray Sinclair鈥檚 forum, previously announced, is scheduled for .听

Tewksbury first gained prominence in 1992 when he powered to a gold medal win in the 100-metre backstroke at the Barcelona Summer Games. One of the first openly gay Olympic champions, he has emerged as a powerful voice for social change and currently serves on the board of the Canadian Olympic Committee and as chair of the board of Special Olympics Canada.

Dr. Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University who was diagnosed with autism as a child, has become a role model for other autistic people around the world and blazed a trail in the livestock industry, advocating for the humane treatment of animals in slaughterhouses. Her forum takes place on Dal鈥檚 Agricultural Campus in Truro.听

In October, Dr. Davis鈥檚 forum will serve as the launch for the Viola Desmond Legacy Lecture Series 鈥� a four-year series celebrating diversity and inclusiveness. The series takes its name from Viola Desmond, the African Nova Scotian businesswoman who fought systemic racism and, in 2018, was enshrined on Canada鈥檚 $10 bill.

鈥淲e鈥檙e honoured to have so many inspirational leaders and thinkers joining us this year to share their unique perspectives on diversity and inclusion as part of our 200th,鈥� said Catherine Bagnell Styles, assistant vice-president of marketing and communications and lead on Dal 200.

Registration for the Tewksbury forum is , with registration for the fall events opening throughout the summer. Those who previously signed up for the forum with Senator Sinclair will need to for the September 5th event this summer.
