Join the University of Maryland Honors College and the Black Honors Caucus for the opening session of our six-part series, Freedom is a Constant Struggle: The Fight for Equal Protection under the 14th Amendment. Guided by Professor Richard Bell (Department of History), this session explores the long struggle for citizenship for African Americans following the Civil War. Attendees will view the first episode of the acclaimed docu-series Amend: The Fight for America, followed by an engaging discussion on how the promises of citizenship were contested, redefined, and defended throughout U.S. history.

Can one person really make a difference when standing against a system of oppression? Can one person ever truly create effective change, acting against overwhelming power? Using real-world examples of different media, Dr. Dan Zipp will explain different ways in which art has been used to creatively frame social movements, to deeply resonate with different populations, and to skillfully confront (internalized) dominant ideologies. Through art and our ability to express ourselves freely, anyone can impact meaningful change.
