#BAMUNH Being a Minority at UNH

Tuesday, February 25th 12:30pm 2:00pm MUB 327 This is an opportunity to learn and discuss why we are not in a Post-Racial America. This discussion will be connected to this month's tweets #BAMUNH and how they may intertwine with the Post-Racial Myth. What is Post-Racial America? PRA suggests that America has moved past a racial period because of the success and achievements of many people of Color, their access to different resources, and increased opportunities. #BAMUNH : "Being a Minority at UNH" Throughout the month of February, we will be collecting stories from underrepresented students on their unique experiences at the University of New Hampshire.

Damien Echols: Life After Death Row

Tuesday, February 25th 7:00pm- 9:00pm MUB, Strafford Room
Damien Echols will be speaking at UNH!!! In 1994 in West Memphis, Arkansas, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., and Jason Baldwin, also known as the West Memphis Three, were wrongfully convicted of the slaying of three young boys. While Misskelley and Baldwin were sentenced to life imprisonment, Echols was sentenced to death. However, due to their resilience and immense outside support, the West Memphis Three were finally freed in 2011. Attend this event to hear first-hand from Damien Echols (and his wife!) about his difficult, yet triumphant journey. Prior to the event, there will be a peaceful vigil and march in support of the abolition of the death penalty in NH. We will meet on the right side of Thompson Hall Lawn (the Great Lawn) at 6:00pm. Remmy Cushing, who introduced the death penalty repeal bill to the NH House, will be speaking at the vigil!
