Sept. 27 The Chronicle printed a picture of American Civil Liberties Union members bridge-painting for Civil Liberties Week along with an article for Coming Out Week. Although the ACLU of Duke is co-sponsoring an event with AQUA-Duke, each club has chosen this week to focus on their respective goals.
Duke’s chapter of the ACLU is hosting several events this week that aim to raise awareness of civil liberties issues among the student body. Last night, Dean Sue Wasiolek answered questions after a video teaching about rights during routine police encounters. Tonight, we focus on same-sex marriage with a talk by Bruce Payne at 8:30 p.m. in Soc Psych 127. Wednesday night we welcome everyone to enjoy free ice cream in House B Commons. And the week ends Thursday night with a speech by Nadine Strossen, president of the national ACLU, sponsored by the Duke University Union and Major Speakers.
We hope that students will come to enjoy the events and learn more about how these issues can affect our daily lives.
Brian Schroeder
President, ACLU of Duke
