an LSA senior who helped lead
the workshop, said the discussion
was intended to challenge the
belief that individual action is the
best way to create meaningful
change. Instead, Pham stressed
the effectiveness of community
activism.
“How many of you have heard
the phrase, ‘Be the change you
want to see in the world?’” Pham
asked.
“With
our
workshop
based on collective action and
saying why individual action isn’t
enough, the meaning behind this
phrase or the way that people have
construed it is a little bit harmful.
It perpetuates the idea that in
order to see the change that we
want to see in the world, to see a
problem and want to change it, it’s
individual responsibility.”
Pham noted how issues like
white
supremacy
cannot
be
confronted by individual action
because they are often systemic.
The workshop discussed
nationwide
movements
such as the Women’s March
that has failed to address
white
supremacy.
LSA
senior Chanelle Davis, who
also led the discussion, said
the lack of Black student
representation in meetings
about Spencer’s proposed
visit turned her off even
though she was invested in
the cause.
“Although
the
collaboration got it done
— Spencer didn’t come —
it was missing that piece
about building sustainable
organizing
spaces
and
groups and relationships
with folks,” Davis said.
Davis also mentioned
how
communities
need
to
acknowledge
the
differences of opinion and
background among their
members.
“We
each
possess
unique
experiences
and
also different identities and
we also face oppressions
differently and at different
levels, and we also have
some privileges and things like
that,” Davis said. “But everyone
has a place in the larger work for
justice.”
Kaitlyn Wilson, a Master’s
student
at
the
School
of
Social
Work,
acknowledged
the
uncertainty
some
white
people may feel with their role
in
organizing
against
white
supremacy.
However,
she
expressed the importance of
utilizing racial privilege to help
dismantle it.
“I am a white woman,” Wilson
said. “For me, something like
this, I might feel like maybe I’m
not welcome because I’m kind of
the group that we’re organizing
against, but I think it’s important
that white people like myself
are also able to be a part of it and
acknowledge our own privilege
and use it to work towards
dismantling white supremacy.”
Workshop attendees discussed
what holds them back from
pursuing
opportunities
for
activism, as well as movements
that have not been successful in
combating white supremacy. One
attendee brought up the decline
in the labor movement, while
another mentioned how the
“we’re all immigrants” sentiment
disregards
the
historical
oppression of Native Americans
and African Americans. Pham
said revisiting the history of
marginalized groups is crucial
A VIEW OF THE SNOW
It was the last of many for
University of Michigan seniors:
a willingness to wake up early
for tailgates (unlike classes),
singing
“Mr.
Brightside”
with 100,000 spectators and
enjoying a football game at the
Big House as undergraduates.
The
Michigan
football
team beat Indiana University 31
to 20.
Engineering senior Rachel
Fenberg has gone to football
games since her freshman year,
and gained appreciation for
the experience as she attended
more games.
“I love the atmosphere of the
Big House and I always look
forward to going to games,”
Fenberg said. “I think as I have
gotten older, I’ve been able to
appreciate it more and now as
a senior with the team being
so amazing, it’s been really
exciting to be a part of the
student section and watch all
the games.”
LSA senior Rachel Cohen
felt bittersweet about a great
experience coming to an end.
“It’s really bittersweet for
me,” Cohen said. “As a freshman,
I didn’t know anything about
football. I started staying at
the games and getting more
invested in it so eventually now
over the course of four years I
started understanding football
and I really loved staying for
all the games. It’s really sad for
that to be over.”
Seniors
at
the
game
expressed sadness as two of
its players, LSA senior Chase
Winovich
and
Rackham
student
Berkley
Edwards,
both sustained injuries in the
second half and did not return
to the game. The athletes were
transported to the hospital, but
reports show they sustained less
severe injuries than expected.
Michigan will take on Ohio
State University next Saturday
in Columbus.

The crosswalk is not easily visible from the driver’s perspective,
especially at night.
