I will run this by Jennifer, thanks for the suggestion Paula.



One more idea: UNITY is this year. I spoke with Cristina Azocar, President
of NAJA (Native American Journalists) who said that no one had brought up
Kerner. I am thinking whether I should write a letter to the heads of each
of the UNITY organizations (as chair of CSM, the policy advocate body for
AEJMC) suggesting a Kerner panel and offering AEJMC member faculty as
resources. How does that sound?

The best approach is to e-mail Jennifer McGill, executive director, prior to
the Winter meeting and ask what the options are for getting a plenary or at
least a mini-plenary.  She might suggest that you contact the Standing
Committee that is responsible for planning this year's plenary or she might
say that she has slots set aside for special circumstances like this.  I
would also bring it up at the Council of Divisions meeting because when
other Divisions realize there's an important anniversary of the Kerner
Commission Report, they, too, will want to participate in special
programming.
