Event Description: Muskegon Community College will celebrate Black History Month 2017 in February by hosting lectures, a musical performance, a movie, a contest and the annual Love in Action Awards Dinner. All the events, with the exception of the dinner, are free and open to the public. On Wednesday, Feb. 8, the documentary, “Black America since MLK: Still I Rise” will be shown at 1:30 p.m. in Blue and Gold Room. A discussion, led by Papa N’Jai, an instructor in the MCC Social Sciences Department, will follow. In the film, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. explores America’s changing racial landscape — celebrating how far we have come toward equality and asking why we still have so far to go. The From 6-7:30 p.m. in Collegiate Hall, “Who We Are and How Did We Get Here: Part II” continues the insightful panel discussion started at last year’s Black History event. Once again, the forum taps into the insights of Muskegonites who have made huge contributions to the building of the community and have been long time equal rights activists for the people, especially African Americans. The panel discussion will be facilitated by MCC President Dale Nesbary. Panelists are: Rev. John L. Parker, Floyd R. Cook, Jr., Delores Cole, Orville Sydnor, Paul Billings, Rillastine Wilkins, Edgar Watson and Janie P. Brooks-Davis.
