 Hi,

I wanted to let you know that we have a very exciting speaker coming to
speak at the Law School in the Auditorium at Noon on Tuesday, April 8. The
speaker is Shanta Driver, who is a lawyer and organizer for a group called
BAMN (By Any Means Necessary - www.bamn.com). Ms. Driver was the legal
architect for the Michigan Law School Affirmative Action case. She will be
speaking about the New Civil Rights Movement and the Supreme Court' Civil
Rights Jurisprudence, subjects many of you are likely interested in. The law
school is on Pennsylvania and Fourth. Thanks. I cut and pasted the flyer for
the event:




Racial Justice and the Law: The New Civil Rights Movement and the Supreme

Imprisonment" ed. Marc Mauer and Meda Chesnesy-Lind. The discussion will
