April 8: Fordham and Race: Looking Backward, Looking Forward

As Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recently stated, “History speaks.” This event brings together panelists to explore Fordham’s complicated history when it comes to race, from Fordham’s ties to the slave trade, to the displacement of the Latine population here at the Lincoln Center campus, to the university/law school serving as a welcome sanctuary to immigrant groups, to Fordham's efforts—beyond land acknowledgments and DEI statements—to create a better racial future.
