Harvard Intercollegiate Civil Liberties Conference

Harvard Intercollegiate Civil Liberties Conference
Saturday, November 6, 1993


        The Civil Liberties Union of Harvard, affiliated with the Civil
Liberties Union of Massachusetts, exists to help protect the rights of
individuals on campus as well as educate the Harvard and surrounding
community on current civil liberties topics. To this end, the Harvard
Intercollegiate Civil Liberties Conference intends to join the two tasks
of educating undergraduate college students about civil liberties issues
through workshops and providing them with tools to take action in these
national debates.
