This panels topic concerns Social, Economic and Political Issues in the post-Voigt era.  Now after the Voigt decision, after 1983, there was incredible unrest. Throughtout our symposium we've heard a synopsis of some of that from certain angles, but in this panel we have people who were deeply and intimately involved in that process.
