Knox is recognizing the 162nd celebration of the founding of Knox College and the 30th anniversary of the student group Allied Blacks for Liberty and Equality. Lewis is a United States congressman from Atlanta, Georgia and participated in the civil rights movement as one of the most important visionary leaders.Lewis played a major role in shaping much of the philosophies of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Under his leadership in Nashville, a student-led effort became the model for the movement as a whole. He based his leadership conceptions on the teachings of Ghandi, and, through nonviolent means, successfully desegregated the city of Nashville. In his book, Lewis shares his journey from a cotton farm to a major political leader. His story records triumphs, defeats, and the realities of the movement. In 1963, he assumed the chairmanship of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a role which thrust him into the national spotlight as a featured speaker at that year's massive "March On Washington." Today, as Chief Deputy Democratic Whip, Lewis continues his commitment to the fundamental principles of fairness, decency, and brotherhood that have guided his entire life. He recently published a book, "Walking With The Wind: A Memoir of the Movement" about his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. Following the convocation, Lewis will sign his book, which is currently available in the Knox Bookstore, and talk with people in the lobby of the Ford Center for Fine Arts. ·About ABLE: Twenty Knox student formed the student groups Allied Blacks for Liberty and Equality (ABLE) in support of the Civil Rights Movement in 1968. They locked themselves in the President's office and submitted a list of demands to the Knox administration to ensure the equal treatment of black students on campus. Throughout the past thirty years the most of ABLE's demands have been accomplished. Aside from celebrating Black History Month in February, ABLE has also created a Black week in the spring to support black awareness on campus. Additionally, Hamblin Hall was named after a distinguished Black graduate, Aldolph Ziggy Hamblin, a five star athlete and top science student; there has been an increase in enrollment of Black students, and an increase of Black professors. Other major accomplishments of ABLE include connecting Black alumni with Black students through Career Workshops and the development of the Office of Minority Affairs, which has since evolved into the Office of Intercultural Life. ·About John Lewis: John Lewis was born the son of sharecroppers on February 21, 1940, outside of Troy, Alabama. He grew up in a segregated community, attended segregated schools, and battled with the injustice of it all from a very early age. He studied the teachings of James Lawson, a man who taught that violence wasn't the way to solve anything. Lewis took these teachings of quiet protest and passive humility to heart and organized sit-ins at local lunch counters. Lewis was arrested seventeen times before the city of Nashville was peacefully desegregated. Lewis soon became a fundamental leader in the Civil Rights Movement. He led the "Freedom Rides" of 1961, during which he was beaten and imprisoned. He was elected to chairmanship of the SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and then ousted in 1966 by the proponents of the militant "Black Power" direction of the movement. He guided hundreds of black and white student volunteers through the deadly "Mississippi Summer" in which three students were murdered and many more beaten and arrested. He led the 1965 "Bloody Sunday" march at Selma, where he suffered a fractured skull during a tear gas attack by Alabama state troopers. He spoke alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the famous "March on Washington." He participated in the Robert Kennedy campaign and watched as one of his last hopes for the movement was murdered. He was elected to Congress in 1986 over his former best friend, Julian Bond. Today, he serves as Chief Deputy Democratic Whip and still maintains the quiet, non-violent passiveness he held true in the movement. He stands committed to the fundamental principles of fairness, decency, and brotherhood that guided his life. Congressman Lewis holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion and Philosophy from Fisk University and is a graduate of the American Baptist Theological Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee.

"The Government Inspector" will be performed on Feb. 18, 20, 23 and 25 at 7:30 p.m., and on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 1:30 p.m. "Treacherous Journey" will be performed Feb. 19, 21, 24 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. All performances are in Harbach Theatre, Ford Center for the Fine Arts.The plays are a production of Knox's Repertory Theatre Term, a unique "total-immersion" program in which students take on all aspects of a professional repertory theatre company. Rep Term, as it's known on the Knox campus, has been offered since 1970. "Rep Term gives participants a view of theatre in its broadest definition, from literature and history, to technical aspects, to performance," explains Davidson. "The Government Inspector," one of the classics of Russian theatre, is a satire on small-town corruption and the embarrassment that results when officials strive to conceal it. The play is directed by Robert Whitlach, theatre. Written in 1836 by Nikolai Gogol, it is perhaps best know to American audiences from the 1949 musical film "The Inspector General," that starred Danny Kaye. The Knox performance of "Treacherous Journey" is the English language world premiere of a drama based on the autobiography of Evgenia Ginzburg. The play is directed by Ivan Davidson, theatre, who also assisted in the translation of the script. Ginzburg, a journalist, historian and teacher, was imprisoned for 18 years under Soviet tyrant Josef Stalin. The play is based on her memoirs, which tell how she was shuttled through a series of prison camps. While millions were jailed and killed under Stalin, Ginzburg's play focuses on an often overlooked group -- women -- in the Soviet prison system. Tickets are $8 for adults, and $5 for students and senior citizens, available at the door, or in advance by calling (309) 341-8246.

The lecture is free and open to the public.Tula joined the Committee of Mothers and Relatives of Political Prisoners (COMADRES) in 1978 when her husband, a union activist, was jailed during a strike where he worked. In 1980 a military death squad executed him. After eight years of organizing with COMADRES during the Salvadoran civil war, Tula was abducted by a death squad, interrogated under torture and raped in 1986. She was in a women's prison for indefinite detention as a political prisoner without bond, a trial date, or any legal process. After several months, she was released only after pressure from Amnesty International and grassroots groups from around the world. She then went into hiding and eventually fled to the US.
