This year, we have the pleasure of hosting Roy Fox from the Rufus King Manor. Mr. Fox is a longtime radio personality and expert on the Constitution and Jamaica's own Rufus King. (Senator King was a framer of the Constitution and played a pivotal role in the early stages of the abolition movement. His home, open to the public, is located on Jamaica Avenue, just blocks from York College.) Joseph Salzone from YCRadio.org will interview Mr. Fox. The session will be conducted like a talk show and we invite all of the York College community (students, faculty, staff and friends) to come and learn about the Constitution and ask questions about the Constitution then and now.

Please come -- and invite your students to come -- and join us for what promises to be an interesting talk about the Constitution.

Light refreshments will be served. Small gifts will also be distributed (while supplies last!)

Nearest subways: Union Square, 3rd Ave (L line)

Email to place your name on reservations list

Before Tunisia and Egypt 2011, there was Peshawar 1930. 

During the 1930s and 1940s, in what is now the war-torn border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Badshah Khan, Gandhi's Muslim ally, organized a 100,000 strong non-violent army, the "Servants of God".  Their sacrifices were critical to India's successful struggle for independence. 

After reading Eknath Easwaran's biography of Khan, Nonviolent Soldier of Islam, director Teri McLuhan spent 21 years making this inspiring feature documentary about Khan's life and influence.

Among those interviewed for the film are former Indian Prime Minister I.K. Gujral, former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

The film is 92 minutes and McLuhan will be available for Q&A afterwards.
