MLK’s Field of Dreams: JUSTICE AS A TEAM SPORT

MLK Convocation Keynote Speaker: Luma MuflehLuma Mufleh is the inspira-tional coach of a soccer team called the Fugees—short for refugees. The players on this team come from 18 war-torn countries,

including Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Congo, Somalia and Sudan. Most of them have endured unimaginable hardship: one young boy was forced by soldiers to shoot his own best friend, another watched his father shot to death, and all have been robbed of their childhood.

An immigrant from Jordan, Mufleh moved to Atlanta a year and a half after graduating from Smith College. While driving through the town of Clarkston, Georgia, she noticed a group of boys playing soccer in the street. They played without some of the most basic equipment—but they played for the sheer enjoyment of the game—something that reminded her of home. In the summer of 2004, she made fliers announcing tryouts for a soccer team. The flyers were in Arabic, English, French and Vietnamese and were distributed around apartment complexes where many refugees lived.

Mufleh quickly realized that the needs of this particular team were going to be unique. In addition to the challenges faced by every preteen and teenager, the players on this team were dealing with post-traumatic stress issues, language barriers, cultural disconnects and devastating poverty as their economic reality.

By making a commitment to these young children, Mufleh made a commitment to

their families as well. The team provides strict discipline (all players must sign a code of conduct contract), tutoring for the play-ers, and a sense of community for them and their families. Weaving together a community based on shared experiences, both on and off the field, Mufleh helps the players develop support networks for themselves and their entire families.

Recognizing that as one single volunteer she couldn’t begin to address the complex needs of the players and their families, in the fall of 2006, Mufleh helped found the Fugees Family With a goal to help refugee families transition to life in the U.S., the organization provides tutoring, assistance with housing, and health and educational programming. Mufleh also founded Fresh Start, a cleaning service that employs immigrants or refugees, many of whom are parents of the players, guarantees forty hours of work a week starting at $10 an hour and provides professional develop-ment: English language training and finance, computer, and cleaning skills. In the summer of 2007, Mufleh gave ownership of Fresh Start to her employees.

With an emphasis on what can be done to change the life of one child, one family at a time, Mufleh’s work is the kind of “Social Entrepreneurship” that radically transforms any community. At the podium, Mufleh movingly talks about how she became involved with the Fugees, the plight of the children she helps and what they teach her in turn.

The story of The Fugees and their coach embodies many of the ideals that are thought of as “American”: giving opportunity for self-fulfillment, using one’s own ideas and talents to help the common goal and remembering that “we don’t win or lose alone—it’s always the team score in the end.”

Lift ev’ry voice and singTill earth and heaven ring,Ring with the harmonies of liberty.Let our rejoicing riseHigh as the List’ning skies;Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;Facing the rising sunOf our new day begunLet us march on, till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,Bitter that chast’ning rod,Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;Yet, with a steady beat,Have not our weary feetCome to the place for which our parents sighed?We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;

We have come, treading our path throughThe blood of the slaughtered.Out from the gloomy past,Till now we stand at lastWhere the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,God of our silent tears,Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;Thou who hast by thy mightLed us into the light:Keep us forever in the path, we pray.Lest our feet stray from the places, our God,Where we met thee;Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of theWorld, we forget thee;Shadowed beneath thy handMay we forever stand,True to our God, true to our native land.

MLK’s Field of Dreams: JUSTICE AS A TEAM SPORT

FOCUS SESSION I: 1:15-2:15 P.M.

“Oh, yes, I can.”Lorrie Woycik, Special Olympics • Mueller Hall: RefectorySpecial Olympics has provided a voice for those with special needs and given them a chance to speak out for justice in our society. A brief overview will be provided of the importance of Special Olympics in the lives of the athletes to reveal an “I can” spirit after having been on the outside looking in. The athletes will speak about the way they were treated in school by their peers, and how it affected their lives.

Basketball Diplomacy: Yao Ming as China’s Cultural Ambassador to the WorldRichard Huckabee, Daniel Hoyle, Chuchu Wang, Yuchao Zhou, Valparaiso University Students • Harre Union: Brown and Gold Room BThis program introduces audiences to the basketball career of Yao Ming, the first Chinese athlete to ever join the NBA in the United States, and explores how his trials and triumphs, both on and off the court, have helped promote better understanding between China and the United States. A panel of two American and two Chinese students explores how Yao Ming’s example led to cultural exchanges, created career paths, and drew attention to charitable causes. This session will employ a range of materials, from Yao’s biography to commercials featuring Yao to the sports documentary titled, The Year of Yao.

Gendered Image of Athletes in the MediaProfessor Lissa Yogan, Valparaiso University • VUCA: Room 1412This session will discuss the ways in which the media emphasizes stereotypical gender images of athletes and the effects that these images have on the public’s perception of how men and women should perform on and off the field. The emphasis is on the perpetuation of gender inequalities within the field of sports.

 “Juegos de sueños, sueños de realidad”: Games of Dreams, Dreams of RealityMarissa Longoria and Alex Merlo, Latinos in Valparaiso for Excellence (LIVE)Neils Science Center: Room 224 The session will focus primarily on Latino and Latina athletes, and how they have played an influential role in the present day, not only in sports, but in others’ lives. Most importantly, it will show how they made their dreams a reality.

The Welcome Project: Collecting Stories of DifferenceProfessors Allison Schuette, Liz Wuerffel and Dena Hein, Valparaiso UniversityHarre Union: Alumni RoomRecently, Valpo has renewed its commitment to recognize and affirm our existing and increasing diversity. Such an endeavor will bring struggles and joy. In this session, we will practice telling and listening to stories as part of an ongoing project to illustrate the complexity of living together with difference. Facilitators will provide examples and guide participants through exercises to help generate these stories. Opportunities to record the stories in an audio booth will follow.

Beyond Jackie Robinson: Sports and the Color LinesProfessor Alan Bloom, Valparaiso UniversityNeils Science Center: Room 234 This lecture/discussion will take the Jackie Robinson story and put it in the broader historical context of the integration of sports. Indeed, integration has been a complex process that goes way beyond one man’s story. This session will examine the actual efforts to draw the original color line in the late nineteenth century, as well as the efforts to integrate sports long after Jackie Robinson was retired. It also will explore some of the painful ironies of this history, such as the demise of the Negro leagues.

Awakening to EqualityProfessors Karl Lutze and Mark Bartusch, Valparaiso UniversityCCLIR: Community RoomThis session will explore the early years of pastoral ministry of Valparaiso University’s own Karl Lutze, who found himself as “a young white pastor” called to serve African-American congregations and communities in Muskogee and Tulsa, OK “at the dawn of civil rights.” This will be an opportunity to learn about the importance of forging relationships between church, community, and other organizations for positive change. 

Sports Mascots and Native AmericansProfessor James Kingsland, Valparaiso UniversityHarre Union: Victory Bell RoomThis participatory session will involve a debate over the revival of the controversial University of Illinois mascot, Chief Illiniwek, following the 2007 announcement by the Board of Trustees that he would no longer symbolize the University. Audience members will be invited to weigh in on whether the Chief is a mascot or a symbol, a respectful tradition or simply another racist caricature.

FOCUS SESSION I: (continued) 1:15-2:15 P.M.

FOCUS SESSION II: 2:30-3:30 P.M.

CORE vs. Interlink, or Why Are We Playing Sports in Class?Students from CORE 110-BB, Valparaiso University Harre Union: Brown and Gold Room BStudents from Professor Bridget Kies’ fall 2010 CORE class will discuss their experiences playing sports against international students from Interlink and each other as a way of learning about community building. Although initial reactions to the idea of sports in the humanities classroom ranged from excitement to terror, soccer and volleyball served to unite the class, and healthy competition against international students resulted in great cross-cultural exchange.

Title IX and Women’s College SportsProfessor Amy Atchison, Valparaiso University • VUCA: Room 1412This session will examine Title IX, emphasizing the historical context, as well as pros and cons of the legislation and outcomes. The session will include discussion on Title IX. Participation from those attending is encouraged.

Mirroring: Identifying and Mitigating Diversity Issues in the Workplace and Everyday LifeSamantha Cornwell and Halina Hopkins, Day at the RacesMueller Hall: RefectoryThrough skits, interaction, role-playing and discussion, Valparaiso University’s Day at the Races theater troupe will show what kinds of diversity issues contemporary workplaces face today. Audience participation is encouraged.

Teamwork and Sports on Indian ReservationsProfessor Ronald Janke, Valparaiso University • Harre Union: Ballroom AProfessor Janke will talk about his work on Indian reservations and his field trip classes to Indian Reservations in the West during this past summer and at earlier times. Valparaiso University’s past efforts to help Native Americans and strategies that other academic and sports groups may use to help the poorest places and people in the United States will also be discussed. The strategies that have been used on Native American reservations include summer basketball camps, student teaching, nursing training, social work practice, and engineering projects.

Intersectionality (Our Multiple Identities) and PrivilegeStewart Cooper and Natalie Muskin-Press, Valpo Counseling CenterNeils Science Center: Room 224Historically, the concept of white privilege – that solely being Caucasian in the United States led to significantly more privilege while being non-white blocked privilege – was an important foundation of the civil rights movement. In subsequent years, gender was added to form a 2 by 2 matrix of privilege. Research now shows that this theory is too simplistic and inaccurate. The intersectionality of our multiple identities interacts with settings to determine levels of privilege. The session will include an experiential exercise on privilege and identity intersectionality and a discussion of how this theory has been playing out in professional sports.

40 Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black AthleteMigel Nunnery, ARC, Valparaiso University • Neils Science Center: Room 234William Rhoden’s 40 Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete (2006) is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the “conveyor belt theory,” according to which African-American athletes are granted scholarships, removed from their familiar environments, and then are challenged to meet extremely high standards of success. Due to the limits on upward mobility facing young African-Americans, their experience is one of victimization. The presenter will draw upon his own experiences to explain how he has transitioned from a state of victimization to one of empowerment.

Community, Canals, and SoccerTim Staub and Nick Lindeke, Engineers Without BordersHarre Union: Alumni RoomThe presentation will include video clips of a soccer game played in Masaera, Tanzania, on the Engineers Without Borders 2010 trip. Following the video, the presenters will share their personal thoughts about how the soccer game versus the villagers was an important part of the relationship-building process with the village. Following the personal thoughts, the session will be open for questions.

The Ink of a ScholarDemetrius Amparan, Valparaiso University StudentCCLIR: Community RoomThe ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr. Students will enter this session with open minds about many of the social issues that affect our society today. They will then break off into groups for eye opening workshops that reveal truths in peoples’ lives and potentially change their perceptions of others. Writing workshops will include Demetrius Amparan and Deja K. Taylor (National Poetry finalist and HBO Poet).

FOCUS SESSION II: (continued) 2:30-3:30 P.M.

FOCUS SESSIONS I AND II: TWO-HOUR SESSIONS 1:15-3:30 P.M.

Black Magic: The Story Behind the Integration of College BasketballProfessor Phillip Powell, Valparaiso University, Latrice Jones and Ashley Anderson, Black Student Organization (BSO) • CCLIR: Room 205In a time when African-Americans were excluded from NCAA sanctioned athletic events, many coaches and players were instrumental in successfully integrating college basketball including former NBA stars Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Willis Reed, and Bill Russell. Most of these players were first recruited by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) but chose to compete at predominantly white institutions. This session will be designed to discuss the contributions of such coaches and players, and many others who helped shape the history of college basketball.

Social Justice Organizing is a Contact SportProfessor Ruth Needleman, Calumet College of St. Joseph, and Professor Chuck Gallmeier, IU Northwest • Harre Union: Brown and Gold Room ASocial movements are built on relationships, division of labor, and teamwork. Movement work requires you know your strengths and weaknesses, play to your strengths and play strategically for the long haul. A big star might attract attention but cannot carry the game alone. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a star but he built neither the movement nor its power. This session will examine how movements develop and why teamwork founded on relationships matters. This session will include group work and drama.

Book Discussion: Outcasts UnitedCynthia Rutz, Teaching Resource Center, Valparaiso UniversityHarre Union: Heritage RoomOutcasts United by Warren St. John is a book about a soccer team made up of refugees and the growing pains of the small Georgia town that has become a haven for people fleeing from war-torn countries. Jordanian-American Luma Mufleh, the team’s coach is a woman who sees great potential in these kids from Africa and the Middle East. The book details Luma’s struggles to mold these kids into a team and the town’s struggles to accommodate its new citizens. Luma Mufleh will be the keynote speaker at MLK Day. 

Little Town of BethlehemSALT (Social Action Leadership Team) • Mueller Hall: Room 140This documentary film follows three men of different faiths as they promote non- violence in Israel and Palestine. The film examines the struggle to promote equality through nonviolent engagement in the midst of incredible violence that has dehumanized all sides. Sami’s story begins as a young boy living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank; Yonatan’s starts on an Israeli military base; and Ahmad’s begins in a Palestinian refugee camp. A discussion follows the film.

Inclusion in the program does not constitute endorsement by Valparaiso University or the MLK Steering Committee of any of the views presented.
