"I believe we can do more than simply become names on membership lists and familiar faces at conferences. Through the synergistic effect of communication we can come together to share ideas, link thoughts, and move to awaken the discipline to points of view that invoke query, concern, and debate. The Division of People of Color and Crime is inclusive if all people of color: Asian, Black, Hispanic, Native American, White, and those who do not solely identify with any category of race or color. It is for this audience that the Race and Justice Scholar aims to be the sounding board to share ideas, no matter how far they are from the mainstream, so that the stifled voice will have breath, the silent thought will be heard, and the lone opinion can be cultivated to become a movement." Everette Penn, Race and Justice Scholar, 1(1):1, 2005.
