[GLC] Fw: SPECIAL May 25 Event on Racism and the Criminal Justice System

[Margery Freeman]

Come to an extraordinary discussion on:

"Racism & the Criminal Justice System"

As we strive to build a just and equitable society, we must understand WHY
WE ARE NOT YET THERE and HOW WE CAN ORGANIZE TO STOP THE MECHANISMS OF
OPPRESSION.

Wednesday, May 25, 2005
6:30 - 8:00 pm
Fordham University, Lincoln Center
Room 518

FEATURING:

*    Ronald Chisom, co-founder and executive Director of The People's
Institute for Survival and Beyond, a foremost anti-racist organizing and
training institution in the country

*    Robert "King" Wilkerson, one of the "Angola 3" who was recently
released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary after spending 29 years in
