BY GABRIELLA PATTI [email protected] o kickoff Black History Month at Grand Valley State University, Donna Brazile, a Veteran Democratic political strategist, tackled the topics of civic engagement Tand equality at a lecture on Tuesday. Hosted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and GVSUs Womens Center, Brazile encouraged students to become active, especially when it comes to race equality. “The principle of civil rights and justice brings us here tonight,” Brazile said. “These are challenges that make us uncomfortable, and so we don’t address them.” Brazile is the current vice chair of voter registration and participation for the Democratic National Committee and the former interim national chair of the DNC. She is also the former chair of the DNC’s Voting Rights Institute and was named one of the “100 Most Powerful Women” by Washingtonian magazine. “We don’t just celebrate black history, but American history,” Brazile said. “Because it is a history that we have created together.” Brazile said students should take this month to find their common history and shared values. She also told students that the road to justice is for all people, and the word “race” should be taken out of the search for it. “I want to talk about how to frame the debate, ” Brazile said. “We have to understand not just the issues, but the things that Encouraging activists: Donna Brazile, a political strategist, speaks to an audience in the Klrkhof Center on Tuesday night. structure the issues.
