NKU plans black history events
Northern Kentucky University continues its black history events throughout February. For information on these programs, call the Office of Affirmative Action and Multicultural Affairs, 572-6590:
Thursday: Tribute to fallen civil rights leaders by Dr. Stephen Schwerner, professor of civil rights at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Dr. Schwerner's brother, Michael, was one of three young men who were on their way to the South in the summer of 1964 to help register black people to vote. They disappeared, and their bodies were found six weeks later. The killings inspired the 1988 film Mississippi Burning.

Feb. 13: Musical drama, Colorblind, about skin-color rivalries within a black family. Public tickets: $10.

Feb. 24: “Teaching Tolerance in the New Millennium,” a speech by Morris Dees, executive director of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Feb. 25-27: “Undoing Racism” workshop, with trainers from the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, $99. Limited registration.
