The Edmundite Center for Peace and Justice with cooperation from numerous other campus groups and organizations is pleased to bring the following lecture series to Saint Michael's for the 2000-2001 Academic Year.
All events are free and open to the public.
Race, Class, Gender, and Economic Justice. Our series begins with Eugene Rivers, a former gang member, whose work with the Azusa Christian Community and the Ten-Point Coalition in Boston, Massachusetts was crucial in nearly eliminating gang violence in South Boston and Dorchester. Rivers grassroots organizing led to newfound cooperation between communities of faith and law enforcement agencies. He is seeking to spread that message of cooperation to other inner city church groups and to the larger community. His columns appear regularly throughout the Catholic press and are occaisionally carried by The Los Angeles Times .
