Friday, October 12th, 2012No Justice, No Peace
Tuesday, October 9th, 2012
The Past is Not Past: The Continuing Quest for Racial Justice and Peace panel at was held before a capacity crowd at Syracuse University’s Newhouse III this morning (pictured l to r: Janis McDonald, Andrew Young, Linda Carty, Martin Luther King, III, and moderator Paula Johnson).
SU’s Linda Carty (Dept of African American Studies) cited several statistics and said there are several obstacles to the notion of peace, including: substandard education, poverty, and the misapplication of justice that spawned the prison industrial complex.
Former Ambassador Andrew Young said freedom is a constant struggle. He also advised students not to get mad, but to get smart.
SU alum and SIF Advisory Board Member John Giles, Jr. (pictured in the audience near event co-organizer Scott McDowell of SU-NYC and media personality George Kilpatrick) dialouges with the panel about coalition building as it relates to seeking justice in the modern day Civil Rights Movement.
Martin Luther King, III, the son of the legendary civil rights leader, said true justice is justice across the board (for everyone).
A Tale of Two Speeches
Friday, September 14th, 2012

This post is about two people: one rising star and one Academy Award-winner.
It’s also about two speeches that were given about one week apart. One speech was given at a college convocation; the other at a political convention. One speech is about education; the other is about politics. One speech was given in Syracuse by Travis Mason, a government affairs analyst at Google; the other speech was given by actor/director Clint Eastwood in Tampa.
Can you guess which speech was most effective?
