Cliff DuRand

In celebration of the life and legacy of our beloved Cliff DuRand who died on March 17th following a brief illness, the Center for Global Justice is revisiting some of his last public talks.

A retired Philosophy professor, he taught at historically Black Morgan State University in Baltimore where he was also a founder of the Progressive Action Center.
