From the Daily Egyptian(!):
Defending civil rights and protecting affirmative action policies are important because these issues affect the country's future, a spokeswoman for Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, D-Illinois, says.
"Civil Rights Under Fire" is the topic for a speech to be given by Moseley-Braun on campus tonight. The speech will focus on affirmative action as a way for people to fulfill their job potentials, Susan Lindauer, spokeswoman for Moseley-Braun, said.
Lindauer said Moseley-Braun defends affirmative action policies because these policies help women and minorities get more jobs and education. She said the senator will speak about women and minorities, who benefit most from these policies, because they provide strength and perseverance to the workforce that otherwise would be lacking.
Leonard Gross, SIUC School of Law professor and chairman of the Southern Illinois chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is sponsoring the speech, said Moseley-Braun is more than qualified to speak on this topic.
