So we are bringing back our audience discussion leader, Dr. Christy Miller Hesed, and expect her to be joined by other topic experts to offer their insights and answer your questions. You will once again need to view the film in advance, which you can do for FREE through Amazon Prime or at this website: https://www.pbs.org/video/cooked-survival-by-zip-code-tilbr2/ So watch the film at your leisure, then register for the February 7 audience discussion by clicking on this link.

NOTE: I have sent email links to everyone who registered before 5:00 PM on Saturday.

If the email bounced back to me and you gave a phone number when you registered, I’ll call you to get a new email; if you gave me BOTH a bad email address and a bad or no phone number, I’m afraid there is nothing I can do. If you can’t find the email with the link in your spam or trash folders, register again and I will send the next email using the “To” function.

EVENT CANCELLED - October 13th Peace Lecture with Dr. Fania Davis
2022-10-13 19:00 - 22:00
We regret that Dr. Davis is unable to join us for the Peace Lecture Series as planned. Please stay tuned for information on our celebration of the 50th Annual Peace Lecture Series in Spring of 2023.

About Dr. Davis
Fania E. Davis is a leading international voice on the intersections of racial and restorative justice. She is a long-time social justice activist, civil rights trial attorney, author, and educator with a PhD in Indigenous Knowledge. Davis came of age in Birmingham, Alabama during the social ferment of the civil rights era. These formative years, particularly the murder of two close childhood friends in the 1963 Sunday School bombing, crystallized within Fania an enduring commitment to social transformation. For the next decades, she was active in the Civil Rights, Black liberation, women’s, prisoners’, peace, anti-racial violence, economic justice and anti-apartheid movements. Apprenticing with African indigenous healers catalyzed Fania’s search for a healing justice, ultimately leading her to serve as Founding Director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth and Co-Founding Board Member of the National Association of Community and Restorative Justice. Her numerous honors include the Lifetime Achievement award for excellence in Restorative Justice, the Black Feminist Shapeshifters and Waymakers’ award, the Tikkun (Repair the World) award, the Ella Jo Baker Human Rights award, and the Ebony POWER 100 award. The Los Angeles Times named her a New Civil Rights Leader of the 21st Century. She recently received the Open Society Foundation’s Justice Rising Award recognizing 16 Black movement leaders working towards racial justice in the United States. Among Davis’ publications is the Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice: Black Lives, Justice, and U.S. Social Transformation. Davis, who resides in Oakland, CA., writes and speaks internationally on restorative justice, racial justice, truth processes and indigeneity. She is a mother, grandmother, dancer, meditator, and a yoga, qigong and African spirituality practitioner.

KIPCOR Film Series 2022-23: Betty Reid Soskin
2023-02-19 14:00 - 16:00 | Luyken Fine Arts Center, 300 East 27th Street, North Newton, KS, 67117, United States
“No Time to Waste: The Urgent Mission of Betty Reid Soskin” was released in 2019 and celebrates the life and work of Betty Reid Soskin, National Park Service park ranger, author, business woman, and activist. Soskin helped to develop the plan for the Rosie the Riveter, WWII Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond, CA and eventually went on to work there. Drawing on her experience as a file clerk in a segregated Union hall during WWII, Soskin’s work at the park showcases the untold stories of African American contributions on the home front during the war. Her devotion to telling these stories has changed the way the National Park Service shares its history.
Soskin grew up in Oakland, CA, where her Cajun-Creole family resettled after the 1927 “Great Flood” of New Orleans. She became a business owner in 1945 when, along with her husband, she founded one of the first black-owned music stores in Berkeley – Reid’s Records. She also authored the book, “Sign My Name to Freedom,” a memoir of her own lived experience from childhood into adulthood. In 2015, Betty was invited by the National Park Service to introduce President Barack Obama in President’s Park during a nationwide PBS tree-lighting ceremony. At age 101, Betty is currently hosting 1-hour virtual chats on Thursdays for the park.
KIPCOR invites you to join us on the Bethel College campus on Sunday, February 19 at 2:00 pm in Lukyen Fine Arts Center to view this inspiring film. Following the film, Betty will join us virtually for our talkback session. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with her!

“You might think America is a democracy, where freedom of speech and basic rights are guaranteed. But at its heart, there is a great injustice. Against all the odds several extraordinary citizens are banding together and fighting back for their basic right to clean water. Armed only with facts and their illnesses, they risk arrest to take on the might of industry and government. From Flint to the Navajo Nation, via Standing Rock, this is their story.”—Leana Hosea

Click here to Livestream Saturday’s Justice Symposium
The Kansas Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (KIPCOR) invites you to the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Lecture Series, featuring Christina Swarns, Executive Director of Innocence Project. Christina will speak at Bethel College, North Newton, KS in Memorial Hall at 7:00 pm on Friday, March 1, 2024. On Saturday, March 2, 2024, the first Justice Symposium will be held at Bethel College in Krehbiel Auditorium and the Will Academic Center. Christina will serve as a keynote panelist for this event. The symposium is free and open to the public.
As director of Innocence Project, Christina works to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate and equitable systems of justice for everyone. Since its inception, Innocence Project has used DNA and other scientific advancements to prove wrongful conviction. To date, Innocence Project has helped to free or exonerate more than 240 people who, collectively, spent more than 3,600 years behind bars. These efforts have led to the passage of more than 200 transformative state laws and federal reforms.
Christina previously served as the President and Attorney-in-Charge of the Office of the Appellate Defender, Inc. (OAD), one of New York City’s oldest providers of indigent appellate defense representation. Prior to joining OAD, Christina was the Litigation Director and Criminal Justice Project Director for the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), where she oversaw LDF’s economic justice, education, political participation and criminal justice litigation, organizing, public education, communication and other advocacy strategies. Christina argued, and won, Buck v. Davis, a challenge to the introduction of explicitly racially biased evidence in a Texas death penalty case, in the United States Supreme Court. In a February 2017 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a 6-2 majority, vacated Mr. Duane Buck’s death sentence and denounced the “noxious strain of racial prejudice” that infected the case after an expert witness testified that Mr. Buck was more likely to commit criminal acts of violence in the future because he is Black. Christina was the only Black woman to argue in that Supreme Court term, and is one of the few Black women to have argued before the nation’s highest court.
Prior to joining LDF, Christina served as a Supervising Assistant Federal Defender and Assistant Federal Defender at the Capital Habeas Unit of Philadelphia’s Federal Community Defender Office where she represented numerous death-sentenced prisoners whose convictions and/or death-sentences were vacated, including Nicholas Yarris, the first death sentenced prisoner in Pennsylvania to be exonerated by DNA evidence. Christina began her legal career as a Staff Attorney with the Legal Aid Society’s Criminal Defense Division in New York.
Christina speaks and writes about race and criminal justice. She has authored multiple op-eds, including “The Supreme Court Should Reject Arizona’s Death Penalty Gambit” and “Dylann Roof Shouldn’t Get the Death Penalty,” both of which were published in the New York Times, and “Why the Dangerousness Standard is Racist,” which was published in the New York Daily News.
Christina earned a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and a B.A. from Howard University.
