Yes. Actually, the Black Radical Congress had a demonstration against a dump site that started the march from the King Solomon Church. Charles Simmons , co-chair of the Detroit host committee for the BRC conference, wrote that article referring to Marshall, Malcolm X and Emmit Till. Simmons is a leader of Detroiters for Environmental Justice.
At MSU , they say Harvard is the Michigan State of the East.

Charles---Know anything about a big environmental meeting that was held at the King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit recently. Don't Dump on Detroit or something like that was the theme of the meeting. I read that the spirit of Thurgood Marshall, Malcom X and a poor fellow who had
been lynched in the 50's for whistling at a white woman were all present.
Btw, is Michigan State in the Ivy League or just their law library?:o)
