Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad Speaks About Seminar Addressing the Use of the "N" Word

The Language Matters seminar took place June 6, 2009 on the DMACC Urban Campus with about 50 people from across the state in attendance. The workshop was developed as a result of an incident where State Senator Jack Hatch used the "n" word in a conversation with the State Representative to describe how he felt other legislators were treating them with regards to a particular bill. The Senator has since apologized and both have participated in organizing of this workshop.
