Description
I WANT TO EXPRESS my appreciation to Nelson Maldonado-Torres, Ramon Grosfoguel and the Ethnic Studies and African American Studies departments for organizing and hosting this event today. I thank you all for coming out, and I especially thank our panelists who have been here today. It's really been an exceptional day of presentations and thought and reflection, and I really feel that we're creating something here, that this will continue. This is also the fortieth anniversary of my first encounter with UC Berkeley. I was a reporter then with the left-wing Guardian newspaper published in New York (not the Bay Guardian). I was living in New York and moved to San Francisco to run the Bay Area bureau. I was covering the Black Panthers, the antiwar movement, and the student movement. I came to the campus to cover the Third World student strike.
