Collection includes a cassette tape of bell hooks speaking at Warriner Auditorium at Central Michigan University (CMU) on Sept. 16, 1992, and answering questions after her speech entitled "Revolution of values: ending domination". In her speech, hooks talks about her first integrated high school reunion, which caused her to remember being forced to integrate into a white school, the problems and issues that were involved in the process, and her friendship with a white boy and his family. She decries capitalism, fear in our culture, racism and materialism. Also in her speech, hooks quotes the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., whom she respects, and Alice Walker, whom she does not. Also included in the collection is a newspaper article about the speech from CMLife (2 pp.), and biographical information on hooks from the internet (2 pp.). CMU libraries have many of her books.
