UC Irvine celebrating desegregation milestone

Two days remain in UC Irvine’s three-day symposium commemorating

the 50-year anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education case.

The campus’ cross-cultural center will host “Geography and

Segregation: Development, Race and the Origins of UCI,” a

presentation by Fred Moten, UC Irvine associate professor of

African-American studies, from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. today. “Is UCI

Segregated or Integrated?,” an open forum led by Lecia Brooks of

Diversity Matters Inc., is from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m.

A Martin Luther King Jr. march will take place on Ring Road at the

UCI Student Center at noon Thursday, followed by a film screening

from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the cross-cultural center. The film screened

will be “Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin.”

Admission to all events is free.
