The departments of Africana Studies and Theatre at Rhodes College<\/a> in Memphis, Tennessee will sponsor the Ferguson Fiasco: Speaking Ferguson and Beyond Roundtable Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00pm in the Frazier-Jelke building (Room A) on campus. The open forum will include the top student speeches from the Public Speaking classes with discussion afterwards. In addition, R3 managing editor, Andre E. Johnson<\/a> will share some of his experiences in teaching Ferguson in a classroom setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The class introduced students to the theories, practice, and criticism of public speaking as a responsibility of individuals living in a democracy. The class introduced students to the principles of oral communication with units in group communication, and mass media. Students also examined elements of ethical speaking, critical listening, and the critical thinking needed to interpret mediated messages. Additionally, the class focused on Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter campaign which introduced students to the African American oratorical tradition\u2014with a specific focus on the Black prophetic tradition. In short, the Ferguson Fiasco along with the Black Lives Matters campaign grounded the study of communication principles and public speaking. <\/span><\/div>\n
