Inauguration Symposium
On the afternoon of Nov. 5, SU hosted an inaugural symposium, “Universities and Moral Responsibility: Respecting Humanity at Home and Abroad,” in the Schine Student Center's Goldstein Auditorium.
Highlighted by a satellite address by Christiane Amanpour, CNN chief international correspondent, and by presentations from poet Martin Espada and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Samantha Power, the symposium consisted of three consecutive discussions, each of about one hour's duration. The first panel discussed issues of racism; the second examined genocide; the third focused on the expression and dialogue connected to both racism and genocide. For more information, detailed biographies of the speakers and complete Webcasts of the symposium, visit http://soulofsyracuse.syr.edu/symposium.
Bringing together leading thinkers and scholars from the nation, the University and the community, the roster of speakers included William Safire and Aaron Sorkin, among many others. It was also attended by a select gallery of Central New York community members, who will continue the conversation as part of SU's 20th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration seminar, to be held Jan. 23, 2005, at 3 p.m. in Maxwell Auditorium. A twin event to the Nov. 5 symposium, the MLK seminar will feature the gallery members speaking on their own experiences in Syracuse with the issues of racism and genocide.
