The Center for Social Justice is thrilled and honored to be working with members of our community to create the Clyde Snow Social Justice Award.

Dr. Snow’s work has impacted international courts, academia, forensic anthropologists, human rights organizations and activists, and families, friends, and communities of victims.  It is time for us to recognize his exceptional work in the field of human rights and social justice.

We would greatly appreciate your financial assistance to help raise US$150,000 to create a permanent endowment.  This year’s award will recognize the extraordinary work of Dr. Clyde Snow.  In following years, the Center for Social Justice can use the Clyde Snow Social Justice Award to honor other individuals and organizations whose work contributes to the re-humanization of victims of human rights abuses.

Your tax-deductible contribution should be made payable to the Clyde Snow Award Fund of the University of Oklahoma Foundation. Click here to donate now.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at the Center for Social Justice!

Congratulations to all 2012 Graduates!

Good luck in your futures!

In 2010, Bei Bei Shuai, a pregnant woman living in Indiana became so depressed that she attempted to end her own life. With help from friends who intervened, however, she survived. Although Ms. Shuai did everything she could, including undergoing cesarean surgery, to ensure that her baby survived, her newborn died shortly after birth.

Ms. Shuai was arrested for the crime of murder (defined to include viable fetuses) and feticide (defined to include ending a human pregnancy at any stage). The sentence for murder can be the death penalty or 45 years-to-life. The sentence for attempted feticide is up to 20 years.

Activists are calling for the charges against Ms. Shuai to be dropped and for her to be given access to mental health treatment, rather than being locked up.
