New York U Sponsors Panel on Human Rights

Put visually (or symbolically): subtle intolerance < then > war > human rights violations. The order may not always run that way, but that's my theory and I'll stick to it. Thus, I wanted to do my small part to help publicize this conference sponosred by New York University School of Journalism.
