On Saturday, Feb. 6 the BHSU Foundation is teaming up with the KJWF to host a Kenadi Jean Basketball Night at the

Geek Speak: Raising Hell
Jan. 28 | 4pm | Jonas 104
Join us Thursday for Dr. Adam Gaffey's Geek Speak, "Public Speaking: Raising Hell." This Geek Speak proposes a
historical and analytical overview on agitators who have taken oratory as a form of public protest. Some speak of
prophecy and others speak for open rebellion, but all speak as a form of empowerment. This talk will focus particularly
on two speakers who were members of historically marginalized groups, including Harvey Milk [first openly gay elected
official] and Angelina Grimke [daughter of slave‐owning family who became perhaps the most famous abolitionist
speaker for a brief time in the early 1800s]. Students will leave this Geek Speak with a clearer sense of how historical
misfits have nevertheless sought to alter public attitudes, often at great personal risk. These lectures are free and open to the public.
