As UUs, we recognize the existence of many realities and even more so, how those realities are interwoven. The connection between law and race is one of these ever present truths. Join Political Science Professor Emeritus and UU, Howard Tolley, for three 90 minute sessions examining Supreme Court caselaw involving slavery, native American rights, racial discrimination, segregation, mass incarceration, the death penalty, affirmative action, rights of protesters, and qualified immunity for law enforcement personnel. In this course taught through UUJAZ and UUJO, Tolley considers the impact of race, political ideology, legal principles, and personal preference on the selection of Justices and the decisions they reach.
This course is free to all our monthly sustaining donors. If you wish to join but aren't a donor, you can contribute a suggested donation on a sliding scale. There is also an opportunity to contribute to racial justice organizing at registration. If you aren't financially able to donate, join us anyway!
Reparations Note: White participants are encouraged to consider paying an additional $50, in recognition of the historic legacy of racist economic policies and the ways in which generational wealth and greater access to economic opportunity have privileged white people as a group for hundreds of years. We will donate these extra funds to Black-led organizations working for racial justice.
Interdependence Note: Regardless of your racial identity, if your class privilege or finances allow you to pay more so that others may pay less, please consider adding an additional contribution to your total. We will use these extra funds to provide scholarships for racial justice programming.
Equity Note: Regardless of your racial identity, scholarships are available to those who need them. Select the free option and join us!
