...exactly what happened to two seniors yesterday. Alexis C. Maule ’08 and Aisha J. Dennis ’08 received a call from law professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr.’s aide, requesting they bring their laptops and come help the reverend. Jackson, the prominent civil rights activist and two-time presidential candidate, was slated to speak at the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church in Central Square as part of an annual speech organized by the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice, an organization at the Law School founded by Ogletree. Maule and Dennis...

Overall Huckabee led the poll 32% to Romney's 20% - an astonishing reversal of fortune from this summer, when Huckabee...
...Harvard a role model, the opportunity to be altruistic, and most importantly, to give,” Van Devere said. A dearth of biographical information about Harvard has left dramatists like Van Devere with a unique opportunity. There have been few attempts to dramatize the life of this Puritan reverend in the last 400 years, and Van Devere took this opportunity to add what he called his “personal sense of human touch” to Harvard’s story. “Now’s the time or never to bring John Harvard forward again...
