Dr. Wilbert Smith

Goshen College will again focus on the values and ideals that characterized Martin Luther King Jr. through music and poetry, a documentary, a luncheon and discussions during the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Study Day on Jan. 21. The theme for this year is “Shalom: That we may be whole.” Related events leading up to the day will begin Jan. 15.

This year’s events will feature filmmaker Dr. Wilbert Smith and author Dana Johnson. Smith’s 2012 documentary, Hole in the Head: A Life Revealed, chronicles the life of Vertus Hardiman, an Indiana native subjected as a child to radiation experiments that left him with severe physical deformities. The film raises hard-hitting questions about health care, race relations and forgiveness.

Johnson, from Los Angeles, is the author of Elsewhere, California and Break Any Woman Down, which won the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction and was a finalist for the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award. She is an associate professor of English at the University of Southern California where she teaches literature and creative writing.

GOSHEN, Ind. – It’s not often that Goshen College students have the opportunity to pick the brain of a close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But that’s exactly what happened during a convocation on Monday, Jan. 16, when senior Yolo Lopez-Perez sat down with Dr. Vincent Harding to ask him questions about race, multiculturalism, identity and servant leadership.

Harding stressed the idea that the work of the civil rights movement is ongoing, and that each person has the ability to help. “You now have a freedom to be engaged with each other in ways that may make it possible to create a better Goshen College, city, maybe even Elkhart, but maybe even America,” he said. “I am asking you all to be free to see that you are citizens of a country that we must still be creating. A country where all of us are welcome, where all of us are deep participants, where all of us can sing and move and meet each other, where the oldest among us will always know that they are cared for and the youngest among us will always know that they will be nurtured.”

When it comes to balancing an organization’s need for cohesion while welcoming diversity, Harding said it is important to be open to the natural changes and developments that come along. “Identity is not something that is most valuable to us when we are grasping it, and saying ‘Don’t lose it!’” said Harding. “Identity is most helpful and useful to us when we’re saying, ‘How can we join what we have with what others have.’”

Harding used a caterpillar as a metaphor for what could happen if we hold on too tightly to our identities. “If the caterpillar said, ‘I’m going to be a caterpillar, that’s all!’ it loses its chance to fly,” he said.

When asked about servant leadership, one of the college’s core values that is being emphasized this school year, Harding pointed to the life of Martin Luther King Jr. Before King became a civil rights leader, a group of women in Montgomery, Ala., began taking radical actions to protest against discrimination, including Rosa Parks. But the group of women needed a spokesperson, said Harding, so they called on King and he became their servant.

“[King] didn’t come galloping into Montgomery on a steed saying ‘I am your leader,’” said Harding. “The people knew the kind of leader they needed, and King listened to them.

Harding also spoke of the importance of standing in solidarity with the poor, the underprivileged and the discriminated against, a cause to which King literally gave his life.

Part of being a servant leader, said Harding, is taking Jesus seriously. “I don’t see any way of taking Jesus seriously without standing with the poor, without being available to anyone who’s in trouble, without always looking around for where are the outcasts and the weak, and going to stand by their side.”

Harding ended the time by encouraging students and the campus community to be in open conversation with one another, and to live into the freedom of the great variety that the campus has and to take full advantage of it.

Harding was a close friend of Dr. King, at one point living around the corner from him in Atlanta when he and his wife, Rosemarie (a ’55 GC alumna), directed a Mennonite Voluntary Service unit, from1961 to 1964. Harding drafted the “Beyond Vietnam” speech that King delivered at Riverside Church on April 4, 1967, and in 1968, Harding became the first director of the King Memorial Center in Atlanta.

The convocation also featured performances by the Parables worship team, and was among the various activities the college offered for its annual Martin Luther King Study Day. Other activities throughout the day, which focused on the theme “Hope, History and Change,” included a spoken word coffeehouse, a community conversation about race, a community luncheon, and a candlelight vigil and march for peace and justice.

GOSHEN, Ind. – During Goshen College’s 18^th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Study Day on Monday, Jan. 17, the life and legacy of Dr. King will be celebrated through music, poetry, prayer, art, story-telling and a discussion about race. In particular, the role of faith in the civil rights movement will be at the heart of the day’s agenda, which has a theme of “Christ, Hope and Survival.” As the college cancels daytime classes so that students can participate fully in the events, the public is also invited.

How do you connect faith with personal actions? In conjunction with this year’s theme, join the “40 Days of Peace” initiative beginning on January 17, 2011.

“Martin Luther King was anointed with the gift to lead with the head, the heart and hands. He was an intellectual who discerned the urgency of the times and was strategically positioned to lead a movement that changed the course of American history. His example of combining faith with action has provided the legacy that we celebrate on this day,” said Odelet Nance, director of the college’s Multicultural Affairs Office. “It is my hope that on this MLK Day we will be inspired and propelled to merge our faith with social justice action.”

Read about Martin Luther King Jr.’s visit to Goshen College on March 10, 1960.

The featured guests for the day are African-American religious historian Dr. Quinton Dixie and Latino fiction writer Manuel Luis Martinez. Goshen College students will also perform throughout the day, including the college’s Voices-n-Harmony Gospel Choir.

Dixie is assistant professor of philosophy at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. His areas of interest include African-American religious history, religion and labor, hip-hop and spirituality and the civil rights movement. Dixie collaborated with award-winning author Cornell West on a collection of essays, The Courage of Hope: From Black Suffering to Human Redemption. He also partnered with journalist Juan Williams on the 2003 PBS documentary, “This Far by Faith,” and the companion volume: This Far by Faith: Stories from the African American Religious Experience.

Martinez is a writer and professor of American and Chicano literature at Ohio State University. His most recent novel, Day of the Dead (2009), explores the forces of violence behind the quest for redemption. His second novel, Drift,“crackles with the authenticity of lived experience,” according to The Washington Post Book World, and was selected by the American Library Association as one of the 100 Best Books of the Year in 2004. His first novel, Crossing (1998), is based on the true story of immigrants smuggled from Mexico to the United States in a locked railroad car, and was chosen as one of 10 outstanding books by PEN American Center in New York.

These stories from local guests will be part of Goshen College’s 16^th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Study Day on Monday, Jan. 19 when classes are canceled and the campus celebrates and applies the ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. All of the day’s events are free, except the morning prayer breakfast, and open to the public.

“Dr. King was a great orator and charismatic leader who held a grassroots vision of community members organizing to combat racial and social inequalities,” said Odelet Nance, director of Goshen College’s Multicultural Affairs Office. “This year, we will recognize Dr. King’s dream by sharing the stories of contemporary, local community civil rights activists and their efforts. We will also acknowledge the historic inauguration of our first African-American U.S. president.”

The day will bring together many different local lecturers and performers to engage with King’s idea of “the dream,” including the Williams family and Meyers-Ray family. As well, Indiana University-South Bend (IUSB) professor and director of the IUSB Heritage Center Monica Tetzlaff will be on campus to discuss ways to take action toward fulfilling MLK’s dream. The Heritage Center uses the civil rights movement as living history to promote a better understanding of individual responsibility, race relations, social change and minority achievement.

And also on campus will be the Triple G Mime Group. Based out of South Bend, this nationally acclaimed performance art group tells stories through expressive movements and gospel music. Their Christian drama ministry illustrates a powerful, liberating message through pantomime.

Goshen College students will also perform throughout the day, including in the Voices-n-Harmony gospel choir.

“Martin Luther King is a poignant figure in our nation’s history. Due to our core values and mission, Goshen College is committed to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King by remembering his nonviolent teachings and the civil rights movement,” said Nance. “The national motto of the MLK Service day is, ‘a day on; not a day off,’ therefore, MLK Day has been designated as a time where Goshen College creatively offers structured programming to encourage continued action for racial and social justice. The overall goal of the day is to emphasize the values and ideas that characterized Dr. King’s work, to send a challenge to resist injustice and oppression in non-violent ways and espouse the belief that Dr. King’s dream is an attainable dream.”
