Since you have asked publicly about several questions on the UC Listserv with regard to, ³What Would YOU Do?².
I would NOT put an African-American who is totally beholden to Penn as a so-called community spokesperson YET again. This has been nearly thirty years and it still has not convinced people. Stop this once and for ALL! John Fenton did MORE for our community than anyone from the UCD, (with a couple of exceptions), black or white.
