Every Wednesday, the Michigan
Daily will be asking a University
faculty member, staff member
or student what the University
bicentennial means to them.
“I watched this film about the
University campus before it was
this booming — everything is
so different. There’s a lot that
has changed. The buildings
have been renovated and the
students dress differently. But
many things have stayed the
same: frst parties, students
orgs, people running around on
the diag... it’s the future now,
but the University’s character
really isn’t that different.”
SMTD sophomore
Jaime Murriel
WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K
of that.”
Powell began the event by
talking about his upbringing in
the South Bronx, and specifically
how growing up in a diverse area
formed the basis of his respect
for
others.
This
sentiment
was similarly expressed in his
opinions regarding diplomacy,
and how it is necessary to keep
an open dialogue with other
nations to solve problems.
Rep Debbie Dingell (D-Mich)
also received a shout out from
Powell. Prior to the event, she
spoke in an interview about how
much she admired him.
“I have known Colin Powell
for decades,” she said. “Alma is
one of my best friends. I think
he is truly the epitome of what
a public servant is. He loves this
country and he is really just a
good man and I am excited that
he is in my hometown of Ann
Arbor.”
Throughout the event, Powel
emphasized
the
importance
of
continued
investment
in
technology in ensuring the U.S.’s
status as a top nation.
“We
are
a
technological
nation, and we cannot lose the
advantage that we have over
other
nations,”
Powell
said.
“It is important that if our
nation wants to stay on top, we
have to continue investing in
technology.”
Powell also expressed his
disappointment regarding the
country’s
race
relations.
In
response to the recent racially
charged incidents which have
taken place on the University’s
campus, Powell offered a message
of strength and support for
minority students.
“I
think
the
college
administration and the student
bodies have to push back against
this kind of thing. But don’t let one
nut with a spray paint can destroy
the community that exists in the
University. There will always be
folks like this — I’ve faced them
throughout my life,” Powell said.
“My own attitude has been, you
can call me anything you want,
but watch me, I’m going to do
my job. I’ve always felt that those
who’d like to look down on me
because I’m Black or because I’m
an immigrant or because I didn’t
go to the right school — that’s
their problem. I’m not going to let
it become mine.”
He also encouraged people
not to let the racist actions
diminish the University’s overall
reputation.
“We should push back with
all the pressure we can against
those who feel this way and
believe these things, but we can’t
do it by destroying the school or
by having actions that are not in
good order — or discipline, as we
would say in the military — and
if it’s one or two people, don’t
let them turn upside down a
university of 40,000,” he said.
LSA senior Daniel Wu also
shared Winter’s feelings and
talked about his excitement
to learn from Powell.
“I like going to events
where
there
are
famous
people coming to campus,”
he said. “I love attending
events on campus because
there are so many interesting
things happening and you
just learn a lot. I love when
famous
people
come
to
campus
because
they’re
really interesting people with
interesting stories.”
Powell
ended
his
conversation with Gallimore
by stressing the importance
of taking care of one another
and
understanding
the
responsibility
that
each
individual has both to others
and to the country.
“Kindness is something
you can give away, and you’ll
never understand the impact
that you had on another,”
Powell said.
