3. Yellow Rage (7-9 PM) and Dance Party (10-2AM) Tonight
Yellow Rage will be preforming in the Sommer Center from 7-9 PM (Hosted by POWER and WISA). Come out to celebrate the end of Multicultural Week. Yellow Rage has been featured on Def Jam Poetry.Yellow Rage has sought to make a positive impact through their poetry. Drawing from their own unique experiences, individual political ideologies, and personal life philosophies as Asian American women, Michelle and Catzie’s group and solo poems address issues which explore the intersections of race, culture, gender, community, and self. Core issues examined by Yellow Rage include human trafficking, sexual slavery and modern-day slavery; anti-Asian violence; domestic violence; cross-cultural conflict and misunderstanding; cultural commodification; racism and sexism; mixed race identity; class divisions; and self-identity. At the heart of Yellow Rage’s poetry is a desire to present a perspective that challenges ignorance and hatred and holds people of any race, gender, ethnicity, religious belief, etc., accountable for ideas and behaviors which in turn facilitate divisiveness rather than understanding. Through anger, pain, joy, celebration, sarcasm, and humor, Catzie and Michelle strive to facilitate honest dialogue with their poetry and hope to move themselves and others towards some universal Truth–to recognize the humanity of others and acknowledge the human desire for peace, healing, happiness, and love. Employing multiple poetic forms and delivery styles–including hip hop-influenced rhyme, character depictions, theatrical monologue, song, and free verse–Yellow Rage seeks to connect people, bridge cultures, and initiate a movement of positive and progressive change.
The Multicultural Dance Party ( Hosted by POWER and WISA) will be from 10 PM-2 AM is the Sommer Center. Come out to dance and listen to music from all over the world. Some genres include soca, dancehall, reggae, J-POP, zouk and kompa.

The absolute last day to turn in your ILL’s will be Monday May 16th, unless you contact me and make special arrangements.
Fines for ILL’s that are not returned on time are $75.00 per item. I’m sure you can think of much better things to do with that money.

Good luck with end of term papers and tests!!
