https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/professor-under-investigation-for-reading-mlks-letter-from-birmingham-jail-containing-n-word The University of California, Los Angeles has reportedly launched an investigation into a white professor who read Martin Luther King Jr.’s "Letter from Birmingham Jail,” which contains the N-word, to students. The *Washington Free Beacon* <https://freebeacon.com/issues/university-to-investigate-lecturer-for-reading-mlks-letter-from-birmingham-jail/> obtained a political science department email last week in which Michael Chwe, UCLA political science chairman, and two other department heads denounced lecturer W. Ajax Peris, who is white, for saying the N-word aloud during a lecture. UCLA will also host a town hall for students this week to discuss the controversy and "outline future next steps" and urged students to come forward with complaints. -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
