    Clyde C. Miller was honored to host a brief symposium on issues of youth and race in the aftermath of the Michael Brown case and the Ferguson protests.  It's fair to say our distinguished guests were impressed with the thoughtful discussion and the considered opinions of our students.  The meeting lasted for more than an hour and our student leaders made us proud.
     
    The students put a lot of effort into preparation...
