URBAN ACTION This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)
Tavis Smiley at RIT
RIT will present a talk by author, talk-show host, and civil rights advocate Tavis Smiley on Thursday, January 30. Smiley will give the keynote address at the 2014 Expressions of King’s Legacy from noon to 2 p.m. at the Gordon Field House and Activities Center. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. Later the same day, Smiley will
moderate a community panel discussion for the “State of Race in Rochester: 50 Years after the July ’64 Race Riots.” The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at East High School, 1801 East Main Street.
Talk on Islam and Christianity
St. Mary Church will host “What can Islam teach us about Christian faith?” a conversation with Muhammad Shafiq and Deacon George Dardess at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 30. Shafiq is the director of the Hickey Center for Interfaith Dialogue at Nazareth Col-
lege, and Dardess is the author of several books on Muslim-Christian dialogue. The event will be held at the church’s Dugan Center, 15 St. Mary’s Place.
Book discussion
The Moving Beyond Racism book group will meet at 7 p.m. on Monday, February 3, to discuss “Bloody Done Sign My Name” by Timothy Tyson. The autobiography is a look at the author’s reconciliation with his Southern roots. The group meets at Barnes & Noble, Pittsford Plaza. It’s not necessary to have read the book to join the group.
Correcting ourselves
There is some confusion over the “Policing the police” story in the January 15 issue. All civilian complaints against the police are investigated by the Professional Standards Section of the Rochester Police Department. Only very specific cases are then reviewed by the Civilian Review Board. Normal time for a CRB panel to convene and render decisions is two weeks. Updates on cases are provided by the Professional Standards Section, not the Center for Dispute Settlement, which runs the CRB. In the 2014 Winter Guide article on area hot chocolates, we accidentally transposed two digits in the phone number for New Roots Coffeehouse. The correct number is 453-8228. 12 CITY JANUARY 29 - FEBRUARY 4, 2014
