Desiring to prepare women for dignified, remunerative, and socially useful work, Mrs. Harcum opened the Harcum Post Graduate School on October 1, 1915, with three students and five pianos in Melville Hall at Morris and Montgomery Avenues in Bryn Mawr. Mrs. Harcum served as School Head and President until 1952. In 1955, under President Philip Klein’s leadership, Harcum became the first junior college in Pennsylvania authorized to grant associate’s degrees of arts and sciences. In 2003, the College began admitting men and added new Allied Health programs in Nursing and Radiologic Technology. Today Harcum College is an independent residential associate’s degree granting college with an enrollment of approximately 1,700 students, women and men, who reside at or commute to the Main Campus in Bryn Mawr in addition to attending classes at 12 other Partnership Sites around Greater Philadelphia.

tality and oppression in the nation’s legal system as well. We look forward to an open and frank discussion about Dr. King’s actions in light of the ongoing controversy in Ferguson and Staten Island and around our nation.” About “Letter from Birmingham Jail” Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested in Birmingham, Alabama on April 12, 1963 for demonstrating without a permit. During his 11 days in jail there, he wrote “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in response to a letter published by Alabama clergymen that criticized King's use of jail time to demonstrate civil injustice. In the letter, Dr. King explains why he chose to use prisons as a tool in his civil rights movement. He writes, “I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for the law.” The writing of the letter itself involved rule breaking. Prisoners were not allowed instruments to write during this time, so Dr. King’s lawyer snuck in a pencil. The letter was written in the margins of a newspaper and smuggled back out by the same lawyer. The letter became a manifesto for civil disobedience, stating, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere.” The letter led to a pivotal moment in the American civil rights movement when, about a month after it was published, Birmingham officials agreed to desegregate schools, restaurants, and stores.

with each presentation.” Being able to form a chorus without the stress of auditioning, singing for the pleasure and enjoyment of music, is at the heart of the West Chester Area Community Chorus. Begun over 18 years ago, Waldie explains, “My wife, Ruthann, was the choral director at Garnet Valley High School with more than 200 students in her choral program. Many of the parents were looking for a place where they could sing without pressure, so we started the chorus. At the beginning of each season (September and February) prospective members merely fill out a form and they become part of the WCACC family.” With the concert performance season based on the school calendar, WCACC meets for practice from September into May, performing two concerts each year, one in January and a spring concert in May. The music performed ranges from classical choral works to Broadway show tunes and folk songs, to spirituals, pop music, and more. Beyond the two annual concerts, in recent years the WCAAC has sung the National Anthem for the Wilmington Blue Rocks and the Philadelphia Phillies’ home games, and has performed during the annual West Chester Christmas celebration as well as for special events in the Delaware Valley area. Members pay a seasonal membership fee of $10, primarily to support the purchase of additional music. For information on tickets or on joining the chorus, email the group at wcacommchorus@comcast.net or online visit www.westchesterchorus.org.

“Black Lives Matter” Performance to Highlight Philadelphia Jewish Group Joins National PEACE-A-THON in West Philly January 15 Outcry Against Racial Injustice here has been much protest and civil disobedience following the alleged law enforcement brutality cases and slayings of black American youth and citizens such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and Ezell Ford, among others. A rallying cry and protests have been held throughout the country and has been used to galvanize a large contingency of adolescent participation. Some of the missing links to the causes and effect of various criminalized incidents is how do you recover and heal from grief and loss and what is the short term and long range agenda and outcomes for the emergence of this movement for social and environmental change. A catalyst for change will be suggested and promoted on Thursday, January 15, 2015 with a PEACE-A-THON performance series and community talk back scheduled for the Rotunda, an arts emporium located at 4014 Walnut Street in the West Philadelphia/University area. Billed as an arts and humanities approach for issue orientation and problem solving, the program will include an open forum and discovery zone following a 4:30 p.m. after school staged adaptation “Cease the Fire: Peace in the Streets” and a 7 p.m. production entitled “Black Lives Matter.” Sponsored and coordinated to highlight the forthcoming Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday and based on the theme “No Justice/No Peace,” the 2015 PEACE-A-THON will feature performances and conversations concerning violence and crime prevention. At 4:30 p.m. “Cease the Fire: Peace in the Streets” will use spoken word, storytelling, dramatizations and nation conscious rap to address the current trend in police brutality, gang warfare and violence against children, youth and families. The 7 p.m. performance of “Black Lives Matter” will chronicle a present day conceptualization of police homicides, insights on the civil rights period, ideation for slavery post traumatic stressors and other past harmful experiences relevant to black people and people of color. Much participation has been garnered for this special afternoon and evening event especially with the performance contributions of cast members from the national touring productions of “Wade in the Water,” “No Where to Run,” “Color Me Black,” “One More River to Cross,” “Why Blacks Love to Hate White People,” “Oh God, Please Send Me a Do Right Man,” “To be Young, Black and Gifted with Rap,” “God’s Children” and the Black male trilogy of “Black Man in the Bottle,” “BlackManchild” and “Anatomy of Black Manhood.” The PEACE-A-THON is being organized as an annual event to be held yearly and nationally and will hopefully engage questions and answers that summon tangible community sustainability and self preservation.

Repair the World launches nationwide campaign urging MLK Day of service and Jan. 16 Shabbat dinner dialogue ecently, Repair the World, with offices in Philadelphia, launched a nationwide campaign dedicated to providing a platform for discussion and service-based action on racial inequality. “Turn the Tables” will promote the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and explore current events through guided discussions at the Shabbat table on the Friday evening before the MLK Day of Service. The campaign also encourages volunteers to sign up for community service projects on the national Day of Service that commemorates Dr. King that Monday. Shabbat has traditionally been a sacred weekly time for Jews to gather with those closest to them. Repair the World invites everyone to use Friday, January 16, as an opportunity to break bread and reflect on racial injustice issues that are on the minds of Americans following the tragic events in Ferguson, Staten Island and elsewhere. Repair the World, an organization that engages the Jewish community through volunteering and reflection on deep-seated issues such as structural inequality, will provide resources for people across the country to host Shabbat supper conversations on Friday, January 16. These conversations will focus on growing understanding and finding a way to move forward, via their campaign that launched today at www.Turn-the-tables.org. As part of these dinner dialogues, Repair the World will provide cards featuring the last words of recent victims of police violence and will ask participants to respond with their first words on healing. A quiz, available online, will help to educate participants about structural oppression. “During this time, especially in light of recent events, many of us re-examine the basis of our own complicity in racial injustice: loss of urgency in working to bring change, juxtaposed with active furtherance of the privileges that life affords our families and ourselves. We are often left with questions about where we fit in the struggles for racial equality,” says David Eisner, president & CEO of Repair the World. “It’s these questions and contemplation that should motivate us to engage our own communities and to serve in partnership and solidarity with people who feel these injustices every day.” Repair the World will call on people to volunteer on Martin Luther King Jr. Day for local organizations and initiatives that seek to address issues of racial inequality. About “Turn the Tables” Turn the Tables strives to promote the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by promoting healing and progress towards the promise of a more just society. Turn the Tables challenge communities to recognize the signs of inequality around them and to identify paths towards a future where race no longer determines access to justice.
