"She's not gone nearly as far as I would like to go," he said of Clinton, who met with him in January at a celebration honoring Martin Luther King Jr., "She has benefited more from [Giuliani] messing up. Giuliani is her campaign manager; he's driving her more than she's driving herself."
Sharpton's visit was not without controversy on the law school campus, however, as several students gathered outside of Langdell North where he was speaking and handed out packets citing reasons for their outrage that Sharpton had been given a forum at the law school.
"We thought it was inappropriate for Sharpton to be invited given his record of demagogic bigotry," said second-year law student Aharon J. Friedman.
Friedman said HBLSA offered to pass out the packets at the forum, and they were available to all who attended.
The HBLSA spring conference also featured career fairs, panels and the Thurgood Marshall Marching Towards Justice Exhibit dedication.
