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.
