TEXAS A&M TO HOST CIVIL RIGHTS SYMPOSIUM

  

 

Texas A&M University is set to host a major symposium on November 6 to commemorate and reassess the Civil Right Act, fifty years after its enactment. 

A day-long symposium titled, “Global Citizens and Equality Fifty Years After the 1964 Civil Rights Act,” is an interdisciplinary initiative that will include analysis of the significant strides made during the past half-century while also examining racial, gender, and other areas in which expectation and ideas have not yet been fully attained. 

Among the scheduled speakers, Symposium speakers include renowned legal scholar Professor Patricia J Williams and James L Dohr, Professor of Law at Columbia University, who will deliver the keynote address. 

Symposium planners noted that, as last year’s celebration commemorating Texas A&M’s 50 Years of Inclusion illustrated, the university has been greatly enhanced by an increasingly inclusive community of students, faculty, staff and administrators. They emphasize the civil rights symposium continues the spirit of that celebration. 

The symposium is free of charge and open to the public, but registration is required. To register, go to http://tx.ag/symposium-rsvp.
