Join Akron BLSA for a Call to Action – Wednesday 12:30pm

Please join the the Black Law Students Association to take a photograph symbolically bringing awareness to the importance of the outcome of the Fisher v. University of Texas case. Students of ALL races and ethnicities are invited and encouraged to participate in our efforts. This case challenges the use of race as one of many factors considered in admissions policies in institutions of higher education. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday, October 10, 2012.

The photograph will be taken in front of Akron Law, facing EJ Thomas. Please contact Lavell Payne (lop2@zips.uakron.edu) with any questions.
