ON THE COVER Bob Pickett (’05, JD ’08), an attorney in American Samoa, rocks his lava-lava. Photo by Travis Dove (’04) 2 WAKE FOREST MAGAZINE FEATURES Alumnus Bob Pickett surprised his friends when he left North Carolina to work in American Samoa. His fraternity brother, camera in hand, decided to check on him. by Cherin C. Poovey (P ’08) photography by travis dove (’04) SUMMER 2017 3 I N T H E T I M E it takes Robert “Bob” Pickett (’05, JD ’08) to make the arduous journey from his hometown of STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA (where it gets cold), to his current residence in AMERICAN SAMOA (where it doesn’t), he could probably fly across the United States and back a couple of times. A Double Deac who up until a couple of years ago worked in the Morganton, North Carolina, district attorney’s office and had never lived outside the state, decided to try something new. Bob moved some 6,000 miles away — first to the village of Fogagogo and later to the village of Faganeanea — on Tutuila, the largest and most populous of American Samoa’s seven islands. He is chief attorney, criminal division, in the Office of the Attorney General there. Travis Dove (’04) was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity along with Bob’s older brother, Joe (’01, MSA ’02). Travis first met Bob when he pledged the same fraternity. They shared a love of live music and craft beer, and their friendship evolved after graduation via social media, fantasy football and neighboring seats at BB&T Field. “Certain friends you have are better at keeping in touch with others, kind of like the glue of the group,” said Travis, a professional photographer based in North Carolina. “Friends that seem to stay in touch with everyone, and Bob was one of those kinds of people.” When Bob started talking about relocating to a tropical island halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, Travis was admittedly skeptical. “I certainly didn’t take it very seriously. It seemed out of character for him.” But after Bob moved, Travis eventually made the two-day trek to visit. He arrived with 40 pounds of photo gear via one of the few planes a week coming in from Hawaii. Greeted by cheering locals waving welcome signs, he reunited with his Pika brother, who wore a necklace, Wake Forest Hawaiian shirt and a traditional “skirt.” Travis took these photos while they were just two buddies on an island — a long, long way from Mother, so Dear.

  • Women's March on Washington Speech for Carmen Perez
    Women’s March on Washington Speech For Carmen Perez Good afternoon family. My name is Carmen Perez, and I'm the executive director of the gathering for justice and the founder of Justice league NYC and California. I am truly humbled to join and serve you as one of the national co-chairs of the women's March alongside my sistren Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Bob Bland. As well as so many who have worked so hard to make today happen. Thank you! I stand here as a Chicana Mexican-American Woman. As the daughter and granddaughter of farm workers. As the family member of incarcerated and undocumented people. As a survivor of domestic violence. As a woman who knows pain. And who has transformed her pain into gifts. Gifts that have allowed me to see light in the darkest places. For twenty years, I have worked in America’s prisons. I have seen families being torn apart. Locked up in cages. Forgotten and silenced. Many stripped of their rights, their freedoms, And ultimately, their lives. And the majority are black and brown people – including women. Women who I call my sisters . This HAS TO END. This WILL end. Because of you. Because of us. Today I join you all and raise my voice loud and clear to say WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. We know what the problems are. We know who our enemy is. We know what the injustices have done to us and those we love. But to overcome them we have to stand in solidarity. We have to listen to each other and know that we always have more to learn.

Washington University Law Review VOLUME 98 NUMBER 4 2021 POLICE PROSECUTIONS AND PUNITIVE INSTINCTS KATE LEVINE* ABSTRACT This Article makes two contributions to the fields of policing and criminal legal scholarship. First, it sounds a cautionary note about the use of individual prosecutions to remedy police brutality. It argues that the calls for ways to ease the path to more police prosecutions from legal scholars, reformers, and advocates who, at the same time, advocate for a dramatic reduction of the criminal legal system’s footprint, are deeply problematic. It shows that police prosecutions legitimize the criminal legal system while at the same time displaying the same racism and ineffectiveness that have been shown to pervade our prison-backed criminal machinery. The Article looks at three recent trials and convictions of police officers of color, Peter Liang, Mohammed Noor, and Nouman Raja, in order to underscore the argument that the criminal legal system’s race problems are * Associate Professor of Law, Benjamin N.

  • President's Report
    · mount holyoke · PRESIDENT’S REPORT · a note from the · PRESIDENT The College has always been a place where big visions take shape. For over 180 years, we have opened opportunities for students to deepen their understanding and sharpen their response to a fast-changing world with challenges both known and unknown. We prepare students to learn and to lead because in life and work, we know this is what makes all the difference. Now that we have been deeply engaged in the work for two years of our five-year Plan for 2021, I’m delighted to share our progress, including an overview of some of Mount Holyoke’s new strategic initia- tives. In January 2018, we opened the Dining Commons, a part of the new Community Center, which is now also nearing completion. With the extensive renovations to Blanchard Hall we are creating a co-curricular hub in support of student leadership and programs, as well as a coffee shop and pub. We’ve also added new residential, co-curricular, and academic spaces. These spaces are the heart of our community-building efforts, giving more attention to shared endeavors and creating a sense of belonging. They represent a commitment to place at Mount Holyoke, reminding us all of the power of relationships that is in the very warp and woof of the College and the Alumnae Association. There is an energy and excitement to our being in the same space at the same times each day to eat, talk, think, and debate in companionship and cooperation. I hope the stories in these pages excite you about our current initi atives and our plans for the future.

    The Fordham Center On Religion and Culture 1 www.fordham.edu/CRC Fordham Center on Religion and Culture UNTO DUST: A LITERARY WAKE October 15, 2015 Fordham University | Lincoln Center E. Gerald Corrigan Conference Center | 113 W. 60th Street Panelists: Alice McDermott National Book Award-Winning Novelist and Author of Charming Billy, After This, and Someone Thomas Lynch Undertaker, Poet, Essayist and Author of The Good Funeral: Death, Grief and the Community of Care (with Thomas G. Long) and The Sin-Eater: A Breviary JAMES McCARTIN: Good evening. Welcome to Fordham. I am Jim McCartin, Director of the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture. I have to say that it is a particular thrill for me tonight to welcome here all of you, to be part of this conversation between the two very best people I could think of to discuss our mortal end. It is a topic that, I have to admit, I can never get enough of. It was at the tender age of eight that I began one of my still-favorite pastimes, which is to say, scouring the obituaries. In my perhaps somewhat peculiar point of view as a fully grown adult now, I contend that there are few things more satisfying than a proper funeral. Some will say — and perhaps McDermott and Lynch will agree with this — that my interest in death and in its many permutations runs deep in my Irish American heritage. But for me I gather it is something more than just the peculiarities of my ancestral identity. In studying the death notices as a young kid, what I was really trying to figure out, I think, was how the families of my hometown of Troy, New York, formed webs of relation with one another — how they were connected, who they married or loved, what institutions and organization formed them into the ordinary and sometimes, rarely, extraordinary people that they were.
