This conversation is to assess where faculty find it most difficult to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion. "Let's Talk About DEI in Your Courses" is designed to gauge faculty members experiences and reservations toward DEI in their courses. Utilizing the DEI pillars laid out by the Equity Rubric, we will be able to measure where faculty are thriving in terms of DEI and where they may need assistance. This conversation will open the door to further training centered on DEI in your courses as the implementation of DEI is proven to increase success rates among students by engaging them on a personal level. If you attended this session on March 25, you do not need to attend this one.

Join guest speaker, John Zimmerman, Vice President of the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center in Dayton, Ohio for a digitized photographic history of Dr. King’s struggle in Chicago for two years while advocating for Open Housing, the predecessor of today’s Fair Housing legislation. The photo collection is owned by the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center. Artist Bernard Kleina took these photos in 1966 and 1967. Much of Kleina’s work is at the Smithsonian. His work of producing high quality large color photographs of Dr. King and his civil rights marches is very rare. This private collection is called “The Chicago Freedom Movement” and was on display at the Sinclair campus Library in 2018. More recently it was on display the summer of 2022 at the International Peace Museum on Courthouse Square in downtown Dayton. Mr. Zimmerman’s review of this collection sets the backdrop for a discussion of the legacy of fighting redlining and how, through that legacy, the Dayton Metropolitan area is the 15th most segregated Metro area in the United States today. Mr. Zimmerman will wrap up with a contemporary video expressing the views of today’s younger people who are advocating for continued change.
