| DESCRIPTION: "A brief, intense, beguiling, sensual, witty, impassioned, deeply moving and brightly burnished gem." - San Francisco Examiner Behind the walls of their father's garden, two wealthy sisters discover new appetites in this violent fairy tale inspired by a New York Times Journal page article entitled "Of College Girls Betrayed and Vile Chewing Gum" (July 10, 1996). However, Gum isn't about the subject of the article, not in the way a documentary directly recounts a particular event. Instead, Gum explores a larger need to tame nature in the context of a fictional fundamentalist country where gum is contraband and every desire has a price. Gum premiered at Baltimore's Center Stage and has received subsequent productions in New York (Women's Projects & Productions) and San Francisco (The Magic Theatre). | CONTACT NAME: Melissa |

| ACTIVITY: Spring Diversity Book Talk Series presents Suzanne Lebsock, Professor of History, University of Washington: "A Murder in Virginia: Southern Justice on Trial" | LOCATION: UW Kane Hall 130 |
| DESCRIPTION: Activity: Spring Diversity Book Talk Series presents Suzanne Lebsock, Professor of History, University of Washington: "A Murder in Virginia: Southern Justice on Trial" Location: UW Kane Hall 130 Description: Using court documents, newspaper accounts, and letters, Bancroft Prize-winning historian Dr. Suzanne Lebsock brings to life the 1895 murder trial of a Black man and three Black women accused of murdering a White woman in Virginia. Lebsock presents in incredible detail the gruesome murder of Lucy Pollard and the robbery of her wealthy and stingy husband, the trial, and the battle to free the women who were widely believed to be innocent. In its haste to blame the crime on Blacks and exact prompt "justice" via lynching, the town runs afoul of a governor determined to rid the state of the savagery of lynching and its threat to the rule of law. Lebsock is particularly adept at portraying the individuals and interests involved: the accused murderers, the defendants' advocates, the unsympathetic widower, the vested interests of those who supported the lynchers, and the fierce newspaper rivalries fueled by the trial. She also explores the social and racial undercurren! ts in the small town, which signified the changed relationship between Blacks and Whites during the late Reconstruction era. The University Book Store and the UW Graduate Opportunities & Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP) invite you to our Diversity Book Talk Series, which brings authors of color and White authors who write on race, diversity, and multicultural issues to the University of Washington campus to read and discuss their work.
