Dear Friends,
Join the National Association of Scholars and Peter Kirsanow, a current member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights and Yale graduate, on September 23 for a luncheon addressing the legacy of segregation and its rebirth on American college campuses.
When the Warren Court ruled that "segregated . . . schools are not 'equal' and cannot be 'equal'" 65 years ago, it ended 57 years of state-sponsored segregation in the United States. In the years after Brown v. Board, university administrators and radical students have promoted voluntary self-segregation—what we call "neo-segregation." Neo-segregation affects students from orientation to graduation; even the residence halls they call home are often separated by race.
We want to know, does neo-segregation matter? Is it harmful or beneficial, some combination of the two? Should the public care? Should students care? How do we balance equality and freedom of association? What is the agenda of those pushing voluntary racial segregation on campus?
It's time that we wrestle with this conversation. Join us as we do just that.
Learn more and reserve your tickets for September 23 here.
Yours,
Peter Wood
President
National Association of Scholars
