7:00 pm - Keynote Address by BAMN National Spokesperson Shanta Driver
101 Taper Hall, USC campus
FIFTY YEARS AFTER THE SUPREME COURT'S landmark ruling that declared "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal", a gulf remains between that ruling's promise and the present separate and unequal reality of American schools. Ms. Driver will speak on the continuing relevance and power of Brown v. Board of Education after 50 years and on the new integrated, youth-led national civil rights movement that is aiming to make Brown's promise a reality.
As the architect behind the groundbreaking pro-affirmative action student intervention in Grutter v. Bollinger, the University of Michigan Law School case, and the 50,000-person March on Washington that secured last year's Supreme Court pro-affirmative action ruling in Grutter, she will make the case for affirmative action and integration in K-12 and higher education and speak on how Californians can stop the current attacks on the right to education in this state and make Brown a living reality.

Cynthia McKinney
Five-term Georgia Rep. and Peace Advocate soon to reclaim a seat taken from her by an illegal crossover vote because she challenged the Bush administration on its accounts of 9/11. Since vindicated on every point, McKinney is now one of the most sought after speakers anywhere and a National voice which may soon change the course of the most important election in American history.
Michael C. Ruppert
LAPD Whistleblower and world lecturer. Publisher/Editor of From The Wilderness, a newsletter read in 40 countries and by 35 members of the U.S. Congress. The ‘Godfather’ of 9/11 research, he has consistently been months and even years ahead in predicting political and economic developments around the world, especially on the subject of PEAK OIL, the fact that the world is running out of hydrocarbon energy.

550 pairs of boots will symbolize US military deaths in Iraq. A pile of shoes will symbolize 9,000 Iraqi civilian deaths due to war and occupation.
To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the war against Iraq, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace and the American Friends Service Committee invite you to participate in a memorial to the civilians and the soldiers who have died as a result of this conflict.
To represent the dead we will display 550 empty military boots and a pile of several thousand men's, women's and children's shoes, in front of the Westwood Federal Building. Throughout the day we will read the names of Americans and Iraqis who have been killed (with musical interludes).
We will conclude with an interfaith candlelight vigil at 7:00 pm.
We invite you to donate used shoes in good condition in memory of the civilians that lost their lives. The shoes will be used for display. Afterwords, the AFSC and ICUJP will give some of them to Iraqi civilians and some to homeless people in Los Angeles.
Please bring used shoes in good condition to AFSC’s office at 980 N Fair Oaks in Pasadena or directly to the event on March 18.
