"Dr. Fulani's lecture was not only timely and provocative, but it provided an opportunity for Vanderbilt students to really think about our political system, its problems, and potential solutions. Dr. Fulani challenged the audience to abandon dated notions about what consists of our electoral and policy making institution and to create new alternatives that include Americans in coalitions, instead of excluding them."
Eleanor Fleming, Vanderbilt University "It was a pleasure hearing from and meeting Dr. Fulani.. . . Dr. Fulani introduced a new perspective on electoral politics. We normally spend a lot of time arguing about Democrat or Republican and forget the most important thing - the people. Dr. Fulani reminds us that a vote is a voice, and we have to use it to express what is important to us and to hold our elected officials accountable."
Alison Moore, Black Law Students Assn., Columbia University Law School
"Thank you for your participation in the Black Political Issues Forum 2000. It certainly would not have been successful without your dynamism, intellectual fervor, and passionate retorts. As we discussed, I would like to make the forum an annual event, and I would absolutely love to have you back again, and again!"
Delonte Gholston, President, Swarthmore College Democrats
". . . very, very thought provoking discussion. Many students stayed after and continued to ask questions. Usually students are content to listen and not think for themselves..."

"I wish the halls of Congress could have such an environment with room for dialogue, debate and disagreement . . . "
Former Minnesota Congressman Tim Penny, at the 23rd Annual Pan-African Student Leadership Conference at Mankato State University, on Dr. Fulani's 'commitment to dialogue.'
"Dr. Fulani was a captivating speaker who, through the use of personal experiences, political anecdotes and disturbing statistics, inspired students to seek alternatives to the status quo. She was refreshingly accessible in her interaction with the audience. People will leave believing in the necessity of a third political party in the U.S. "
