RIT's Expressions of King's Legacy
Wednesday, January 29, 2025 (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) (EST)
Description
We are pleased to invite you to join us for our 43rd annual Expressions of King's Legacy for keynote speech and Q&A session with Deborah Archer.
Deborah Archer is the eighth President of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), she leads America’s premier civil rights and civil liberties organization. But it’s not the first time this civil rights lawyer, scholar and teacher has fought for what’s right. In fact, she has been doing it since she was a child.
The first person of color to lead the ACLU, Archer is a leading civil rights and civil liberties advocate, civil rights lawyer, professor, writer and commentator. Her talks explore the intersection of race, civil liberties and the law — challenging audiences to confront America’s legacy of racism and injustice. She also helps audiences understand how systemic racism impacts all aspects of American life, from our workplaces and campuses to transportation, education, housing, economic opportunity, criminal law and more.
