Thanks to the positive responses and participation from Topeka South Rotarians, the Rotary Peace & Justice Committee represented by all the Topeka clubs will be offering more programming in 2018.
 
We'll also let you know about peace and justice-related programs presented by others in the community.
 
Currently at the Mulvane Art Museum on Washburn University Campus:
 
1) Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate - through December 21, 2017
The work of 39 artists who have transformed thousands of anti-Semitic and racist books into an uplifting and dynamic exhibition.
 
2) Detention Nation - through January 1, 2018
This installation is an insider’s view of US immigration detention facilities.
 
3) Film screening and conversation - Tuesday, December 12, 2017 6:00pm
Single mother Rosario leaves her young son in the care of his grandmother and illegally crosses the border into the US in hopes of a better life. When his grandmother passes away, Rosario's son begins a difficult and dangerous journey to join her.
 
Help us wage peace! We encourage you to visit these exhibits to learn more.
