Her quick wit and words have won her fans — and detractors. Malveaux caught flak in the early 1990s for comments about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and more recently, for remarks about the Duke lacrosse case.

Interesting decision, N&R, to omit those remarks from this hard-hitting, unfluffy journalistic undertaking. Local papers - adding value by giving it to you straight.

Let's go to the video.

USA Today columnist and Pacifica Radio talk show host Julianne Malveaux on Justice Clarence Thomas, November 4, 1994 PBS To the Contrary:

And the audio.

Incoming Bennett College president Julianne Malveaux on the Duke lacrosse case, April 12, 2007 NPR News & Notes:

I really, you know, I think something happened here. I think these guys are bad apples. They may not - you may not be able to prove rape. You may not be able to prove anything. But something did happen there, and it was something that was wrong.

Elon and its baseball team were very gracious hosts.
