'Iron Jawed Angels' recounts a key chapter in US History: the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1920. The suffragists had no vote, no political clout, and no equal rights. However, what they lacked under the law, they made up for in brains, determination, and courage. Oscar-winner Hilary Swank leads an outstanding cast in the inspirational true story of women who dared to make a stand for women's rights.

Youth aging out of foster care (typically at age 18) in the U.S. and other developed nations often have serious challenges as they attempt to "make it" as independent adults. Based on his own follow up of such youth in the Detroit area and other studies, Dr. Toro will present data on homelessness and many other outcomes among these youth. He will propose interventions that might alleviate the poor outcomes often seen in these youth. Paul A. Toro is Professor of Psychology at Wayne State University in Detroit. He was President of the Society for Community Research and Action (Division 27, Community Psychology, of the American Psychological Association) in 2003-04.

'King Corn' is a lively and eye-opening documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In this colorful, and often extremely funny look at what we are swallowing, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm. Ian Cheney is a star and co-producer of 'King Corn.'

Grace Rainey Rogers AuditoriumMusical InstrumentsJ. Kenneth Moore, Frederick P. Rose Curator in ChargeHerbert Heyde, Associate CuratorJayson Kerr Dobney, Associate Curator and AdministratorThe Museum’s holdings of musical instruments are among the richest and most diverse in the world. Musical instruments have been a part of the Museum since 1889 when Lucy Drexel and, later, Mary Elizabeth Brown donated their collections. After her initial gift, Mrs. Brown continued to assemble examples from every part of the known world. By 1918, she had amassed over 4,000 instruments from disparate cultures and time periods, establishing the collection as one of the world’s most renowned and comprehensive. Today, the tradition of collecting instruments from all cultures and time periods continues. In this lecture, J. Kenneth Moore focuses on the unique history of the collection; Jayson Kerr Dobney explores the department’s relationships with makers and musicians; and Herbert Heyde considers recent research surrounding the Museum’s unique Andrea Amati violin. The evening’s finale features a rare opportunity to hear this exceptional and historic sixteenth-century Cremonese instrument.
