- Share via
UCLA School of Law conferred degrees on 329 graduates at its 39th annual commencement Sunday at Dickson Plaza. Of those, 323 received doctorates and six received master’s degrees. The Rev. Jesse Jackson (North Carolina A&T; State University, 1963) delivered the keynote address. From his address:
“Students must not transmit the diseases of ancient fears and barriers, but rather hope and dream your way into a new day and a better way. The resurrection of racism, or personal and institutional racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Arabism, anti-Hispanicism, Asian-bashing and homophobia represent spiritual surrender and ethical collapse.”
