Numerous media outlets reported the dedication and opening of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University. An overflow audience in the university\'s 600-seat Community Arts Auditorium stood to applaud when Damon J. Keith, 89, took the stage. Those attending included political leaders, federal, state and local judges. The two-story, 10,000-square-foot addition to Wayne State University\'s Law building on the west edge of the midtown campus will serve not only as the center for education in the laws of civil rights, but will also house programs to stimulate debate and action toward social justice and connect with area residents through legal clinics exploring laws for immigration and asylum, the disabled, the environment, small business and nonprofits. A photo gallery and video are included in the Detroit Free Press story. WJR talk show host Mitch Albom, who was a featured speaker at the grand opening ceremonies, mentioned the event at the top of his 5 p.m. show.
