At Guilford, Black History Month is not
just a history lesson; it is a celebration of
African American individuals, movements
and innovations.
This year, the Office of Multicultural
Education, Blacks Unifying Society and
Africana Community have organized
the seventh annual Black History Month
observance. The theme, "The Multi-
Dimensions of Blackness," incorporates
many aspects of Africana culture through
discussions, films, workshops and
performances, according to the Guilford
website.
"The events reflect the theme of the
multi-dimensions of blackness," said Jada
Drew, Africana Community coordinator.
"Academic, scientific, music, dance, poetry,
history — all these aspects of black culture
are included."
Guilford's celebration of Black History
Month kicked off on Feb. 1 with the first
segment of Spike Lee's "When the Levees
Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts." The
Africana Film and Discussion Series is
presenting the film, which focuses on the
catastrophic devastation of New Orleans
caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The
final segment of the film will be shown on
Tuesday, Feb. 22.
The Africana Community is also
hosting a series of brown bag lunches and
discussions. Discussions have been led by
Director of Multicultural Education Holly
Wilson, Vice President for Academic Affairs
and Academic Dean Adrienne Israel, and
Director of Community Learning James
Shields. The discussions focus on historical
and modem aspects of African American
culture. The final brown bag discussion, led

Revolutions prompt panol discussion
UPRISINGS IN NORTH AFRICA, ARAB
COUNTRIES SPARK REFLECTION,
QUESTIONS ABOUT FUTURE

Part-time Lecturer in Religious Studies Andrew Mbuvi participates as a panelist
during the information panel "Revolution in North America and the Arab World" on
Feb. 9 in Bryan Jr. Auditorium.
For weeks, the world has been energized by
discussions of what could result from recent
revolutionary changes in Egypt. On Feb. 9, just days
before Hosni Mubarak resigned as Egypt's president,
those discussions continued on Guilford's campus
with "Revolution in North Africa and the Arab
World," a community-run panel.
"What happens in one part of the world affects
us in very real ways," said Diya Abdo, assistant
professor of English in an e-mail interview. "The new
leadership of Egypt, for example, could change the
landscape of the political situation as it involves the
U.S. and Israel, and that will reflect in one way or
another on the American people as taxpayers."
In addition to providing a basic breakdown of
recent developments in Egypt and Tunisia, the panel
brought forward speculation on what could happen
next with this series of revolutionary protests. The
panel reflected on what a revolution in Egypt could
mean for surrounding Arab nations and how that
could affect U.S. foreign policy, keeping in mind that
Mubarak helped the U.S. in maintaining relationships
with the Arab world.

Quakers bring home wins
in b'ball double header

The Guilford men's basketball team
(16-7, 9-4 ODAC) dominated Randolph
College in the second half to stomp
the Wildcats 65-48 at Ragan-Brown
Fieldhouse on Saturday, Feb. 12.
Guilford came out strong in the
second half to extend the lead to
10 points and did not let up for the
rest of the game. A major factor was
rebounding.
"I think rebounding always is
important," head coach Tom Palombo
said. "We were disappointed how
we rebounded in the first half. We
talked about it at halftime that it was
embarrassing to have zero offensive
rebounds."
"They like to drive the baseline
and kick it to the corners, so we knew
that was coming," said senior T.C.
Anderson, who contributed 10 points.
