Valuing Black Lives

Tuesday, July 21, 2020 | 6:00 PM - 7:15 PM

Virtual Event

After the Civil War, the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in part to extend equal protection of the law to Black victims of crime. Yet the criminal legal system, while disproportionately punishing Black people, persistently devalues Black lives. Alexis and Daniel will discuss the systemic devaluing of Black lives by the criminal legal system, and explore the implications for Black victims of state-sanctioned crime.

Part of a 6-part series that will address recent and past incidents of police violence against African-Americans, as well as the roots of institutional racial violence, its contemporary manifestations and anti-racist protests.
