NEWS The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 25, 2005 - 7 .PARKS Continued from page 1 Parks died in 1977. Parks became a revered fig- ure in Detroit, where a street and middle school were named for her and a paper-mache likeness of her was featured in the city's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Parks said upon retiring from her job with Conyers that she wanted to devote more time to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Insti- tute for Self Development. The institute, incorporated in 1987, is devoted to developing leadership among Detroit's young people and initiating them into the strug- gle for civil rights. "Rosa Parks: My Story" was published in February 1992. In 1994 she brought out "Quiet Strength: The Faith, the Hope and the Heart of a Woman Who Changed a Nation," and in 1996 a collection of letters called "Dear Mrs. Parks: A Dialogue With Today's Youth." She was among the civil rights leaders who addressed the Million Man March in October 1995. In 1996, she received the Presi- dential Medal of Freedom, award- ed to civilians making outstanding contributions to American life. In 1999, she was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation's highest civilian honor. Parks received dozens of other awards, ranging from induc- tion into the Alabama Academy of Honor to an NAACP Image Award for her 1999 appearance on CBS' "Touched by an Angel." The Rosa Parks Library and Museum opened in November 2000 in Montgomery. The muse- um features a 1955-era bus and a video that recreates the conversa- tion that preceded Parks' arrest. "Are you going to stand up?" the bus driver asked. "No," Parks answered. "Well, by God, I'm going to have you arrested," the driver said. "You may do that," Parks responded. BROOKS Continued from page 1 as a place welcoming to all types of Jews," said Jeffrey Schlussel, a University alum and former chair of the Hillel Board of Trustees. "I think it can be seriously argued that Michael has trained more Jewish leaders in the last 25 years than anyone else," Schlus- sel added. "In my activities within the Jew- ish world, I run into more people who got their start and passion for Jewish involve- ment in Ann Arbor." LSA junior Perry Teicher, a member of Hillel's governing board, said that when he became involved with Hillel his fresh- man year, he was immediately touched by Brooks's genuine interest in and support of students' lives. "He doesn't talk to you with the sole goal of getting you involved with Hillel," Teicher said. "He comes forward with advice and critiques, but he doesn't push things to be the way he wants. He helps people develop their own ideas and find out what they can contribute." Schlussel said Brooks has greatly influ- enced the Jewish community by encourag- ing people to look at problems from different perspectives. "He is one of the most origi- nal thinkers I've ever met when it comes to issues related to the Jewish community, and whether one agrees with him or not, he forces you to seriously consider and cogitate on these many significant issues facing our community," he said. "He has taught me what it means to be a leader and member of the Jewish community. Williams - who gave the keynote address at the honorary brunch - agreed, saying that over the years, Brooks has become a core part of the "collective conscious" of the University community. In the discussion of issues such as race, class and religion, Wil- liams said, Brooks speaks with a deeply moral and passionate commitment that demands responsibility and honesty from the individual. "Michael's voice is clear, insightful and uncompromisingly honest," Williams said. "He sees things without pre- judgment and also encourages others to look with just and equitable eyes." Those who know him say Brooks pre- fers to make a difference without attract- ing the attention or praise of others. "He is far too humble to take credit for any of these successes, but most of them were directly caused by his work and ideas," Schlussel said. "He is a quiet leader with a large impact." Ask Brooks about his role and influence within the Jewish community, and his modesty and lack of self-interest is apparent, as he inevi- tably focuses on the contributions of others. "Meeting, learning with, challenging and being challenged by students is the best part of what I do," Brooks said. "Stay- ing in touch with hundreds of alumni and watching them continue to translate what they learned at Michigan in their own lives, institutions and communities is both inspir- ing and humbling." Brooks added that the Jewish community has its own distinct contributions to make to the world, one of which is the ability to demonstrate that it is possible to engage in passionate debate while maintaining respect for all viewpoints. "If the Jewish community and the Univer- sity can become a paradigm for that kind of community, it would be our collective gift to the world,' Brooks said. "And to the extent that I have had an impact on the culture of both of these communities, then my years here will have been well spent. I can only hope that when I leave, which one day I will, it will be several weeks before anyone notices that I'm gone." LANGUAGE Continued from page 1 their own educations." During the meeting, Asian Lan- guages Department Chair Nancy Florida reminded her fellow faculty members that the issue at hand was not voting between requiring stu- dents to acquire fourth-semester proficiency in one language or sec- ond-semester proficiency in two but whether they should give students a choice between the two. According to a LSA-SG online survey taken by 1,204 students in September, respondents who expressed interest in the four most popular languages at the Univer- sity - French, Spanish, German and Italian - outnumbered stu- dents who were interested in any of the other languages offered 578 to 117. In the same survey, a little more than 60 percent of students said they would take advantage of the two- and-two option to satisfy their lan- guage requirement if it was offered. the michigan daily AVAIL.
