Black Six Trial Panel TOMORROW: 1 pm, Floyd Theatre

The DECC Office is pleased to host a panel with members of the Black Six as they discuss the events of 1968 and today’s social justice movement.

Each was charged with conspiring to destroy private and public property, until 1970, when a judge threw the case out of court for lack of evidence.
