The group has also hosted a number of public panels and discussions featuring both civil rights era and radical black leaders such as Jamal Joseph.[8] Members of the group acting on behalf of the organization have also been represented in a number of other lectures or interviews done by figures such as economist Richard D. Wolff,[9] and television networks like Free Speech TV.[10]
