DetailsJefferson declared “all men are created equal” however, the peculiar institution of the U.S. was protected and codified in the Constitution from the beginning. Slavery is a part of the United States foundation and that concept is necessary to understand in order for the United States to develop past it and progress into a better society for all. From how prisons look today to how many neighborhoods remain segregated, slavery has a strong echoing voice. Please join us on April 6th, at noon to hear our own Jason Mazzone as well Dr. H. Timothy Lovelace from Duke University School of Law, discuss the lingering echoes of slavery in the United States.
