Martin Luther King Day at RIT
RIT students chat with lecture duo Lawrence Otis Graham and Betsy Hart prior to the "racial healing" seminar, Jan. 16, in celebration of Martin Luther King Day. The presenters, sponsored by RIT's Commission for Promoting Pluralism, discussed the elimination of "passive bias" in our society, affirmative action, interracial dating, campus bigotry and the difference between diversity, which focuses on differences, and "proversity," a term coined by Graham which focuses on characteristics that people have in common. Graham and Hart have appeared on Oprah, Geraldo, Politically Incorrect and the Today show speaking on similar topics.
