Wednesday, February 13 at 8 PM in the Michigan League, Koessler Room

Mike Whitty Ph.D
Grassroots Drug Law Reform and Activism in an Age of Apathy

Professor Mike Whitty has been a longtime advocate of drug policy reform. Mike, or Dr Detroit as he is known in Detroit, was involved in the liberation movements of the late l960s and 1970s, including the formation of one of the first Michigan chapters of NORML in the early l970s.

Mike contributed the Detroit Blues Special to the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival organized by John Sinclair. He attended the Free John Sinclair Rally in Ann Arbor in l971 when John Lennon was joined by Stevie Wonder in supporting efforts to end marijuana prohibition.

From the time of the first anti-Vietnam war teach-in at U of M when he was a U of M grad student until the snowy Hash Bash of last year, Whitty has sought to end all wars, especially the war on drugs. He says we need to stop profiling youth, end the war on students and free the weed!
