Friends,

This the very last of my “Wealth and Poverty” classes — not just the last class of this course, but my last class teaching any course at UC Berkeley. So this last class is quite special to me, and I hope it will be special to you. Even if you haven’t had a chance to keep up with all the others, please join this one.

In today’s class, I’ll summarize the main points of the course, give a short history of the struggle for social justice in America, and talk about how my students (including you) can make a difference in the future. Plus I’m planning a surprise at the end.

Next Friday — a week from today — we’ll have a short graduation ceremony from the course, including diplomas. Not to be missed, either.
