The Duke Law Center on Law, Race & Policy ("CLRP"), in partnership with the Duke Law DEI Committee, will host Democracy and Rights. As background, discussions about the future of the U.S. experiment with democracy often center on threats to the franchise and to the freedom of expression. Yet, a heavy focus on one or two rights obscures the ways in which democracy is interwoven with, and often dependent upon, other rights and freedoms. Moreover, 2025 provides a particularly opportune moment for a Democracy and Rights conversation as the U.S. marks the anniversary of major civil rights milestones, including the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education (1954 and 1955), the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade (1973). This event, therefore, will seek to explore the ways in which democracy intersects with, and is often reliant upon, myriad rights and freedoms. Sponsored by CLRP.
