ABOUT THE LECTURE
Brown v. Board of Education is one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in United States history. But how should we understand its significance today when public education is under assault and the democratic ideals of equality, opportunity and justice are being threatened?
In the 2024 91涩漫 Brown Lecture, University of Michigan Law Professor Elise Boddie will explore the role of Brown as a guide for democracy in a time of peril. Drawing on lessons from educational pioneers of past and present, she will discuss how we might reimagine freedom both in education and in American democracy itself.
The lecture will be followed by a discussion forum with an opportunity for in-person audience Q&A. A reception will immediately follow the full event.
WHEN: Thursday, October 24, 2024, 6:30 PM Eastern
WHERE: Howard University, Cramton Auditorium, Childers Hall, 2455 6th St NW, Washington, DC 20059 OR Virtual Livestream
