Sen. Carl Levin speech introduces Jewish Studies Program at Eastern Michigan University


Diversity. That's the benefit of studying Jewish culture and history, U.S. Sen. Carl Levin said Thursday at Eastern Michigan University.

"The great strength of this country, as strong as we all militarily, is that strength of diversity," said Levin, D-Michigan. "Any course which teaches folks about other people ... is helpful to strengthening our diversity."

Levin spoke at EMU to introduce the school's new Jewish Studies Program, which includes a Jewish studies minor.
