Holder to Program Civil Rights Courses at Columbia University

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is partnering with Columbia University to spearhead "civil and political rights" courses and internships for undergraduate students.

Holder, a 1976 Columbia Law grad, kicked off 'The Eric H. Holder Initiative for Civil and Political Rights" last week at a campus event called "Living the Core and Advancing Justice," the Columbia Spectator reports.

The initiative has so far raised $10 million, half of its $20 million goal.

In an address at the New York City-based Ivy League school, Holder said:

"We too often teach kids how to do well without teaching how to do good. I thought that this was an opportunity to build on that which is already done so and take it to a place where we can equip students to do good."

Here's an example of how Holder can teach students to do good:
