Identity and imagination come to KCC
Let’s Talk About It, a book-discussion program designed by the ALA (the American Library Association) has swept through KCC’s library with an extremely positive turnout; the theme was Jewish literature.
The bi-weekly book discussions were individually focused on a different piece of literature, each of which covered a vast array of diversity in the Jewish community’s history. Beginning on August 27 with Exodus (the second book of the Torah) and ending on October 22 with Out of Egypt, the book readings consisted of classic texts as well as contemporary memoirs.

Walk for the Cause
Dr. Washington, men, women, and children walked to support domestic and sexual assault against women. The event was taken place at the Sojourner Truth Monument Corner of Division. Many people gathered together to walk a mile to support the cause. But walking that mile wasn’t going to be that easy for many. They had a choice to wear women’s high heel shoes to represent how it is to walk in their shoes. Most of the men there had on the shoes. The remarkable turnout was greater than people were hoping for. KCC athletes—the men’s basketball, soccer, and baseball teams—even participated in the cause.
“It was an inspiring event…and it was very painful,” said basketball player David King.
“We invited all the K.C.C students, the athletes, and other organizations around the area,” said Dr. Washington.

Unless people have been living under a rock, the presidential candidates are well known. There’s only one question everyone’s debating. That question will get answered on November 4 when voters take their places in their respective voting stations and actually vote. Young people are seldom the focus of presidential campaigns and they are not being informed of the issues and the importance of voting. This year, the candidates have gone to the extreme to get young voters registered. Not only getting them registered, but also giving them more information about their views and what they plan to do if elected. Kellogg Community College has had many coffeehouses that helped give voters more information on the candidates.
