Law School Alumni

Approximately 100 black Law School alumni returned to Harvard this weekend for the First Annual Black Alumni/Career Day Conference.

The Harvard Black Law Students Association and the Charles Hamilton Houston Black Alumni Association sponsored the $2000 weekend, which featured approximately 50 prominent black lawyers, businessmen and politicians in discussion panels on the theme, "Facing the '70s: Creative Roles for Black Lawyers in the Struggle for Equality."

Donald Warden, international businessman and lawyer and keynote speaker for the conference, said Saturday, "Black lawyers and businessmen especially need to develop alliances in Third World countries to develop political and economic clout in America."

Michael C. Calhoun, a panelist and an alumnus, advised law students Saturday to consider seriously international business and law as careers because of the current scarcity of blacks in those fields.
