Stanford
University will be the site of a forum Feb. 8 on the state of
the black community in America. The forum will be hosted by the
Real News, Stanford’s oldest African American student publication.
This
year is the 50th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of
Education Supreme Court case that led to school desegregation.
The forum will attempt to answer the question “How far has
the African American community progressed?”
Participants
in the forum include Charles Ogletree, a Harvard University professor;
Rick Banks, a Stanford law professor; Lucius Barker, a Stanford
political science professor emeritus; Eva Patterson, director
of the Equal Justice Society; William McNeil, managing attorney
of the Employment Law Center in San Francisco, and Yetunde Reeves,
a teacher at McClymonds High School in Oakland.
The
forum will be 7-9 p.m. Feb. 8 in Room 190 of Stanford Law School.
