“Lyrics from Lockdown”- Bryonn Bain
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
7:00 PM, Fowler Hall, Stewart Center
“Lyrics from Lockdown” is an unforgettable journey through spoken word poetry, Hip Hop theatre and rhythm & blues. This true story begins when Bryonn Bain (“60 Minutes,” “The Village Voice,” “BET-J”s,” “My Two Cents”) is wrongly imprisoned in New York City jails while studying law at Harvard University. This multimedia solo performance tackles America’s unresolved contradictions with a virtuosic sense of humor and breathtaking lyricism.

Student Organizations - Please be aware!
Never bring someone into your house/apt/chapter/hall, etc to provide a presentation on any topic, without researching that person/organization first. With Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April, you may get offers of programs on sexual assault/rape prevention and self defense. Make sure the person/program providing the training/workshop is legitimate. Ask for references and the contact number and name of a person at a home agency or organization for which the presenter works or volunteers. A qualified presenter will be affiliated with a known agency or organization and have references. And beware if the presenter wants to try and sell you something as part of the presentation.
There have been recent reports at various universities of a scam that involves a man gaining access to student organization meetings, then presenting incorrect information on self defense and rape prevention and selling pepper spray to the attendees. If you have concerns about someone you’ve recently seen give a presentation, please contact the Purdue Police Department. (494-8221)
If you would like information on legitimate presentations, please contact the Purdue Police Department about the SAFE/RAD programs or the WRO (494-9889) for a list of Purdue offices and local agencies that can provide presentations on prevention.
