Dr. Keith Alford led an education discussion during CBT X (pictured with Ali Alif Muhammad and Dr. Jeffrey Mangram).
During Syracuse University’s Coming Back Together (CBT) we always get to meet some great alumni and learn some great stories such as this one about the Syracuse 8 (including Ali Alif Muhammad).
The CBT reunion is coming up next week.

Professor Zeke Leonard
A funny thing happened during the previews for the Urban Video Project feature last week. At the open-air lobby we spotted one of the most stylish designers in the area: Zeke Leonard. We give him style points for his blending 20th century urban proletariat gear with the cool comfortability of an Australian sheep herder.
We last time we saw Professor Leonard he was atop a car, playing a kazoo at Forman Park.
