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.
