The four-day lineup of events will include a “tables and cof- fee” exhibit along with petitions and fair trade coffee booths from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on the Glenn Terrell Mall, as well as a brewing demonstration by Equal Exchange today and Tuesday. Also today, “Black Gold,” a documentary depicting the injustice in the coffee industry, will be showed at 8 p.m. in the CUB Auditorium. Tuesday and Wednesday’s events will be highlighted by speakers. Jorge Alberto Tapia Ortiz will discuss fair trade com- munities in Santa Anita and Chiapas at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Daniel Jaffee, assistant professor of sociology at WSU-Vancouver, will deliver a broader lecture on fair trade coffee based on his book, “Brewing Justice: Fair Trade Coffee, Sustainability and Survival” at 8 p.m. Wednesday in CUE 202. “We hope that people will begin to understand that what we buy is more than just ‘stuff’ because ‘stuff’ is always connect- ed to people,” Boers said. “The espresso we drink represents 50 coffee beans handpicked by a worker who was paid around three American cents.
