Fox News
The dean of UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs confirmed Thursday that Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors will deliver a commencement address at a June 11 graduation ceremony amid scrutiny of her past critical remarks concerning Israel.
"Palestine is our generation’s South Africa," Cullors said at the event. "If we don’t step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that’s called Israel, we’re doomed." Several prominent Jewish groups questioned UCLA’s decision to host Cullors as a commencement speaker amid a recent wave of anti-Semitic attacks. UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs Dean Gary Segura defended the decision in a statement to the Jewish Journal.More Related News
