Speaker on English-Only Legislation, Penn Rep: Leslie Acosta (Please invite students)

This Friday (Nov 20) at 2:00 p.m. we will be hosting Pennsylvania State Representative Leslie Acosta (Teplitz Court Room in the Pitt Law School).

Rep. Acosta became nationally known for her stance against the proposed English-only legislation.  She gained national attention after she tried to question the “white nationalist” witness at the legislative hearing, but the committee chair turned off her microphone. 

CLAS would be much appreciative if you could spread the word about her talk to your students and colleagues.We published an interview with the Representative on Panoramas, which you can read here:
