Civil Rights Then and Now: Blacks, Muslims and the Fight for Civil Liberties

Lecture by Mahdi Bray, Director of the Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation

What are our rights and liberties and how are they in jeopardy?

What is the Patriot act and does it “insure life and liberty” for all Americans?

In light of our national history, what role can and should Black Americans play in the current struggle to maintain American Civil liberties?

Why and how do we engage in interfaith and interracial coalition building?

An American born Muslim, Mahdi Bray is a product of the Black civil rights movement of the 60's and 70's and current activist for the preservation of American civil liberties. Bray will address the Stanford Community on the issues and responsibilities that face Americans of various race and creed in a post-911 society.
