"Injustice, Intolerance and Intersectional Identity"

The RBMF is proud to support Princeton University's upcoming panel discussion, "Injustice, Intolerance and Intersectional Identity". The panel will address, amongst other things, the circumstances surrounding the murder of Rashawn Brazell.

"Drawing upon political philosophy, black feminist thought and queer theory, this panel discussion will bring together prominent activists and academicians to examine the ways in which our society enables and normalizes violence against individuals that stand at the intersection of marginal identities. To do so, we turn to the unsolved murder of 19 year-old Rashawn Brazell."

Invited panelists include:
• Clarence Patton, Executive Director of the Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project
• Rashad Robinson, Director of Regional Media for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
• Kwame Anthony Appiah, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy, Princeton University
• Desire Brazell, Rashawn Brazell Memorial Fund Scholar Selections Advisor

The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place at McCormick 101 on the Princeton University campus, Wednesday, February 22, 2006 from 6pm - 7:30pm. For additional details contact the Black Graduate Caucus at BGC@princeton.edu.
