Civil rights center tribute to Keith, Taubman

An editorial about the proposed Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights in the WSU Law School lauds federal Judge Damon Keith and shopping mall developer A. Alfred Taubman. The News notes that the friendship between the two men has been longstanding. Taubman calls Keith "one of the nation's leading jurists and exemplary citizens," and Keith was a character witness for Taubman at a trial on price-fixing charges. "The new center at Wayne State 's law school will serve to train future lawyers on the intricacies of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution," the editorial points out.
