Lecture Fund Honors Triumph over Adversity
Earlham’s commitment to peace and justice and its long-standing link to Japan made the College a natural fit for a lecture fund that honors Kazue Fukuda Hawkin’s life, according to first-year student Rachel Hawkins and her father Neil Hawkins, who is one of Kazue’s three children. The income from the Kazue Fukuda Hawkins Endowed Lecture Fund will be used to sponsor an annual Artist and Lecture Series event with a focus on speakers or performers who are themselves victims of prejudice or war, or whose particular message or performance addresses these issues and celebrates the indomitable spirit of those who overcome and survive such experiences.
