Nearly 80 years after Wiley College students traveled to Los Angeles to debate their peers from USC, the roles were reversed, but the result was the same. A standing-room only crowd of approximately 700 people was captivated by a debate of the necessity of civil disobedience.
Just finished a fantastic first day at Wiley. Terrific opening banquet at the Ethical Student Leadership Conference after a great campus tour.
