Vernon Burton, Judge Matthew J. Perry Professor of History (and other disciplines) at Clemson, and Armand Derfner, Esq., a longtime civil rights lawyer, have presented on race-related jurisprudence for us in the past. Today, they explore issues from the past, and look ahead to: Shelby County, destruction of Section 2, racial gerrymandering in disguise, etc.

A Zoom link will be sent to registrants before the program. We routinely initiate Zoom auto-transcription. If you need further accommodation for accessibility, please notify the organizer by 4:00 p.m. Eastern the Thursday before the program. We will address your need if possible.

A recording will be posted on the Detroit Public Library YouTube channel and on lwvdetroit.org a few weeks after the program.
