He is known for his work around race, gender, and class in American society. His work has contributed to the success and fruition of ethnic studies and student empowerment at campuses and universities across the nation. We are certain that his visit will hold a great deal of weight and provide leverage for students, not just in regards to ethnic studies, at the decision making table—as decision are winding down throughout the month of May.
