Former United States Attorney General (for the Lyndon Johnson presidency) and civil rights and liberties activist Ramsey Clark will be visiting campus on October 27 and 28. He has kindly agreed to talk with interested faculty and graduate students on October 28th 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. in Room B at the GLC under the aegis of the Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention and the Virginia Tech Institute for Policy and Governance. The discussion will be informal and will doubtless range widely as Mr. Clark was instrumental in drafting the historic voting rights and civil rights acts in the United States and has been a principled spokesperson and advocate of impartial hearings for even the most reviled defendants of recent times, including Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic. Please plan to attend for what looks set to be a provocative discussion.
