The Duke Center on Law, Race and Politics will organise a conference on Civil Rights – The Present and Future of Civil Rights Movements: Race and Reform in 21st Century America on Nov. 20-Nov. 21, 2015.
About
“The Present and Future of Civil Rights Movements: Race and Reform in 21st Century America” presents an opportunity for scholars, teachers, practitioners, and activists to engage with each other as they discuss their unique perspectives on inequalities throughout different facets of modern America.
In exploring today’s civil rights struggles, including the disproportionate imprisonment of populations of color, decreased access to housing, and persistent roadblocks to basic civic freedoms such as voting, this conference will provide an opportunity for those who recognize the persistent impact of systematic racism to reflect on the past and present in order to better inform the future.
