Campus Currents

A remembrance service for Grace Corrigan will be held at Framingham State University on Monday, January 28 at 4:30 - 6pm, at the Ecumenical Center.

Friends and those with whom she connected here at FSU will share their memories of Grace and how, through her, we got to know Christa better. Grace, like Christa before her, was a graduate of Framingham State. January 28 is also the anniversary of the Challenger accident, in which Christa lost her life.

Those who wish to share a message to remember Grace, but are unable to attend the service, can use this Google Form to express their thoughts. We will read some of these messages at the service and share all of them with Grace’s family.

Dr. Fleming is Associate Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies and Associate Faculty in the Department of Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at SUNY Stony Brook. She is an author, cultural critic and educator committed to empowering people with the conceptual tools needed to understand, confront and challenge white supremacy and intersectional oppression.
