| Dewey and Leboeuf hosts Spike Lee for Black History Month |

The title of the talk was "The Role of Black Media in Shaping Race Relations in America." At one point Lee reportedly said: 'No nuclear bomb has influenced how people talk, how they dress, how they dance. Young kids in Africa, China, and Russia are not...mixing on a turntable because of a nuclear bomb . . . it's culture. That's where America gets it's power." It's not everyday that a major law firm hosts a talk about hip-hop and race relations. I know some of us wish we worked at Dewey now. Anyway, you can read the rest of the story here in the AmLaw Daily. |
Dewey and Leboeuf's diversity committee recently hosted a talk by Spike Lee as a part of the firm's annual Black history month celebration. As you can imagine, Spike doesn't just go around speaking at law firms, so this had to be arranged by someone with an inside connection. That someone was the now famous part-owner of The Source magazine, L. Londell McMillan. McMillan, who is a partner at Dewey, is one of Lee's attorneys.
