Duke lawyers and Law alumni are invited to a special discussion and reception with Duke alum Kevin Maillard '94, Associate Professor of Law at Syracuse University, and co-author of Loving v. Virginia in a Post-Racial World: Rethinking Race, Sex, and Marriage. The book takes a look at modern families 45-years after the Supreme Court declared anti miscegenation laws unconstitutional in Loving v. Virginia. This case is often discussed in tandem with same sex marriage. Kevin will be joined by co-author Rose Cuison Villazor from Hofstra University. At Union Square West at 16th Street, NYC. Refreshments will be served. The cost to attend this event is $15 per person, and all proceeds will go to LovingDay.org, a nonprofit that "fight[s] racial prejudice through education and to build multicultural community."
