Examining Civil Rights and the Criminal Justice System

We are joined by legal scholar Dorothy E. Roberts, J.D., professor at the University of Pennsylvania, for a compelling conversation on the history of civil rights movements within the justice system and the struggle for a fair and just criminal justice system in America. In this discussion, we'll examine how people impacted by the justice system have organized, advocated, and fought for their fundamental rights and human dignity. 

Join us to explore key moments, movements, and figures highlighting the struggles for religious freedom, due process, and human dignity that have fundamentally shaped the fabric of our nation. This is a history of the American people fighting to challenge injustice and establish justice in the enduring quest for liberation.

Moderated by Dr. Kerry Sautner, President and CEO of Eastern State, this conversation will feature leading voices in prison history and carceral justice, who will challenge us to reconsider the meaning of civil rights and the history of the movement within the justice system.
