Event Details
What are the stories we have told about slavery to justify constitutional law and politics, from the moment slavery ended until the present day? Professor Ariela Gross, John B. and Alice R. Sharp Professor of Law and History at the University of Southern California and Co-Director of the USC Center for Law, History, and Culture, examines the way the history and memory of slavery and freedom have reverberated through constitutional law and politics.
At stake in the battles over the narrative histories that shape our understanding of slavery’s legacies is the future of the U.S. Constitution and the possibility of reclaiming the promise of the Reconstruction era to make freedom, citizenship, and equality a reality for all.
