DESCRIPTION:The Civil Rights and Restorative Justice project of Northeastern University 
 School of Law presents 50 Years Later, A Commemoration of the Birmingham 
 Bombing. On Sunday, September 15th at 5:00 p.m. Northeastern University 
 School of Law will host an evening of reflection and dialogue on the Civil 
 Rights movement, featuring Angela Davis, who grew up in Birmingham Alabama 
 where racial violence and bombings devastated the lives of her neighbors 
 and community. Angela Davis is an activist, writer and Distinguished 
 Professor Emerita of the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies 
 programs at UC Santa Cruz.\n\nOn Sunday September 15, 1963 a box of 
 dynamite was placed in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, 
 Alabama as an act of racially motivated violence by a group of white men. 
 The explosion at the African-American church, killed four girls, and 
 injured many others. This occurred when many schools and churches were 
 still racially segregated and the talk of integration intensified racial 
 violence. The church was a target in part because it was a central place 
 for civil rights meetings. This occurred just before the 1964 passage of 
 the Civil Rights Act, giving the federal government authority to file 
 school desegregation cases and prohibiting discrimination in programs and 
 school’s receipt of federal funding.\n\nAlso featured will be Professor 
 Margaret Burnham, longtime civil rights lawyer, activist and founder of the 
 Civil Rights and Restorative Justice project. With music by Vukani Mawethu 
 Choir performing freedom songs and spoken word by poet Donte Clark, we will 
 gather at the First Congressional Church of Oakland at 2501 Harrison Street 
 at 5:00pm on Sunday, September 15th. Tickets may be purchased 
 http://www.alumni.northeastern.edu/crrj  All proceeds go to CRRJ. No one 
 will be turned away for lack of funds. \n\nCRRJ is a powerful project that 
 aims to illuminate injustices of the past and bring about constructive 
 change. This event will allow individuals in California to learn more about 
 the important work taking place at Northeastern University School of Law.
