Heightening tensions in the US over police killings of Black people
have undermined confidence that the election of Barack Obama signaled
a new era on race relations in the US. The more lasting legacy may be
the one championed by late Justice Scalia whose legal philosophy
currently underwrites the central tensions in equality law in the
United States. Through a Critical Race Theory prism, Professor
Crenshaw will discuss Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name as
challenges to contemporary jurisprudence on race, and assess the new
openings presented by current events. Kimberlé Crenshaw is a
Professor at both the UCLA School of Law and Columbia School of Law,
and is the co-founder of the African American Policy Forum.
