For the first Athenaeum of the 2014 Spring Semester on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 2:00pm, join us for panel discussion on What do Civil Rights Look Like in the Early 21st Century? by Alex Hines, Joe Morse, John Campbell, and Tomas Tolvaisas.
The panel will address the question “What do Civil Rights Look Like in the Early 21st Century?” When addressing this question the panel will discuss the numerous ongoing civil rights issues in this country, such as those presented by “stop and frisk” policing behavior and the recent Supreme Court’s gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. After opening remarks and discussion from the panelists, the floor will be opened for questions and comments from the audience.
All panel members will lead a June 2014 WSU Travel Study Course on the Civil Rights movement to Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
