About this event

CLS welcomes author and attorney Armand Derfner to discuss Justice Deferred: Race and the Supreme Court. Derfner co-authored this book with historian Orville V. Burton, and it is the first account that comprehensively charts the Court’s race jurisprudence. Derfner will be in coversation with Deborah K. Kennard, successful attorney and businesswoman with extensive experience in the nonprofit sector.

Justice Deferred dives into addressing nearly two hundred cases involving America’s racial minorities, the authors probe the parties involved, the justices’ reasoning, and the impact of individual rulings. We learn of heroes such as Thurgood Marshall; villains, including Roger Taney; and enigmas like Oliver Wendell Holmes and Hugo Black. Much of the fragility of civil rights in America is due to the Supreme Court, but as this sweeping history also reminds us, the justices still have the power to make good on the country’s promise of equal rights for all. Tickets are $10 for CLS members and $15 for nonmembers.
