Know Your Rights Workshop

The Oneonta Branch of the NAACP and SUNY Oneonta’s Department of Africana and Latino Studies will be sponsoring a “KNOW YOUR RIGHTS” interactive workshop led by Barrie Gewanter, Director of the Syracuse chapter of the NYCLU. The workshop will be held on campus, Wednesday, October 23, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Center for Multicultural Experiences, in Lee Hall, SUNY Oneonta campus. It will be open to the campus community and to the public-at-large.

The idea for the workshop grew out of students’ questions regarding their encounters with law enforcement. The intent of the workshop will be is to make students more knowledgeable about their civil rights and to give them a forum in which to voice their concerns. They will also have the opportunity to take away informative material for their referral.
