The inaugural I. DeQuincy Newman Lecture on Peace and Justice will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. in the USC School of Law Auditorium April 28. Congressman James E. Clyburn will be the speaker.
The I. DeQuincey Newman Lecture series was established by the USC College of Social Work’s I. DeQuincey Newman Institute for Peace and Social Justice with the intent of examining and highlighting peace and justice from diverse perspectives, also to honor the legacy of Isaiah DeQuincey Newman, a Civil Rights activist, state senator, and minister.
