WSU honors leader of social justice work

Alan Amen, a fighter against social and legal injustices for nearly three decades, received the Community Peacemaker Award by CULMA's Center for Peace and Conflict Studies last week. "We give the award to people who have made a difference in improving intercultural relations in their community and overseas," says Fred Pearson, director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies. "Mr. Amen was a pioneer in the Dearborn and Wayne County area of bringing people together in regards to shopping, gas station issues and promoting a greater sense of culture awareness and human sharing to eliminate racism." A photo of Amen accompanies the story.
