New Race and the Law Speakers Series confronts America’s systemic racism

This spring semester, three Duke Law professors renowned for their legal expertise in the areas of colorism, race and politics, and civil right movements developed and taught a new Race and the Law speakers series at Duke Law.

Jerome M. Culp Professor of Law Trina Jones; Guy-Uriel Charles, the Edward and Ellen Schwarzman Professor of Law and co-director of the Duke Law Center on Law, Race and Politics; and H. Timothy Lovelace, Jr., the John Hope Franklin Research Scholar and Professor of Law, collaborated on and shared teaching responsibilities for the course. Read more here.
