The University of Michigan

Museum of Art is making

memberships free, according to

an announcement made early

Monday.

The museum previously

required a minimum $50

donation — $15 for UM

students — for memberships,

but continued to have free

admission.

Members receive a 20

percent discount at the UMMA

store, invitations to upcoming

events and exhibitions, a

subscription to the UMMA

magazine, a calendar and

reciprocal admission to over

50 participating museums.

Now, UMMA members who

contribute $100 or more will

receive reciprocal admissions to

853 North American museums

and 12 Michigan museums.

Instead of the $50 fee,

UMMA encourages annual gifts

to the museum to help it extend

its philosophy of inclusion and

accessibility. A new grant from

the Community Foundation

for Southeast Michigan — a

philanthropic organization

aimed at making positive

change — has made the free

membership possible.

“UMMA hopes to upend the

notion that to be a stakeholder

in the Museum’s future, you

have to be a major donor,” said

Carrie Throm, UMMA deputy

director of Development and

External Relations in a release.

“UMMA belongs to the citizens

of Michigan, the University, and

— now, truly — everyone.”

UMMA’s educational

programs serve approximately

35,000 people annually, and

the museum broke a record for

hosting almost 250,000 visitors

last year. Those who want to

sign up for the free membership

program can do so online or at

UMMA’s store on site. The free

memberships do not expire.

“UMMA is excited to offer

free membership to everyone,”

said UMMA Interim Director

Kathryn Huss in the release.

“Our goal is to promote the

discovery, contemplation and

enjoyment of art, and to be

accessible to everyone. We

welcome more people to join us

in that mission.”

Civil
rights
activist
Fred

Korematsu was honored at a
panelist
dinner
on
Monday

evening in South Hall. Since
Korematsu’s death in 2005,
several states have declared
his birthday, Jan. 30, Fred
Korematsu Day.

About 30 people attended

the event, which was hosted
by the Asian Pacific American
Law
Student
Association

and the Muslim Law Student
Association.

Korematsu brought a case

to the Supreme Court in 1944,
stating the Japanese internment
camps put in place during World
War II were unconstitutional.
Korematsu v. United States

ruled in favor of the government
and Korematsu was convicted
of resisting the executive order.
Korematsu’s
conviction
was

eventually overturned in 1983,
though the court ruling stands.

Panelists
discussed

Korematsu’s actions in light
of President Donald Trump’s
recent executive order. First-
year
Law
student
Layan

Charara, the political action

chair of Muslim Law Student
Association, told the Daily
Korematsu’s work can serve
as a model in today’s political
climate

“Korematsu
is
a
very

important civil rights activist
for many reasons, not just for
Asian Americans, but also
lately for Muslim Americans
and all people of color,”
Charara said.

In
light
of
Trump’s

executive
order,
which

banned
the
travel
and

resettlement
of
citizens

from seven Muslim-majority
countries to the United States,
the panelists drew similarities
between
Korematsu’s
case

and
Japanese-American

internment to the current
discrimination
and
hate

crimes occurring across the
nation.

When asked about the

repercussions of Trump’s
recent actions, panelist and
activist Asha Noor stated
the country is in a state of
crisis.

“The last time there was so

much outrage was after 9/11,”
Noor said. “For the next four
years, it’s not going to be just
marches and protests; it’s
going to be legal battles.”

Panelists urged audience

members
to
ally
with

organizations
and
come

together to stand against the
hate crimes occurring around
the nation.
