The assault on civil rights continues…
From the African American Studies Program-
The recent alarming news of the killing of young Black men by police in New York, Los Angeles, and Ferguson, Missouri, as well as other less publicized cases elsewhere in the country, should make clear to all that the struggle for African American racial justice and inclusion is far from over. We, in the African American Studies Program, wish to express our solidarity with all of the victims of this police violence—the young men, their families, and their communities, and we insist that the country finally awaken to end this continued assault on civil rights.
