Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus Black Law Students Association (BLSA) recently hosted the panel discussion “Trump’s First 100 Days: Bridging Gaps and Building Empathy.” The event, part of WMU-Cooley’s Equal Access to Justice Day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was moderated by WMU-Cooley student Rosston Ramsey (back row, far right). Panelists included WMU-Cooley professors (front row, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th from left) Gerald Fisher, Lisa DeMoss and Lewis Langham; and Ruby Robinson (front row, 2nd from right) of Michigan Immigrant Rights Center. They spoke about the challenges the nation faces and how past leaders overcame diversity. “The next few years will have their challenges,” said Robinson. “As we stay vigilant today, we can ensure that today’s constitutional protections will be available over the next four years and for future generations... Ensure, preserve and expand access to justice and civil rights by utilizing the courts.” Also taking part in the program were WMU-Cooley students Stephanie Smith (front row, far left) and Andrianne Fiddler (front row, far right); along with (back row, left to right) WMU-Cooley student Erika Morgan, WMU-Cooley BLSA adviser Martha Moore, and WMU-Cooley students Hope Blocton, Damien Cash-Osaze and Nehemiah Williams.
