Dividing Lines and the Infrastructure of Inequality: 

A Conversation with ACLU President Deborah Archer

AN HCNY Event
 

Join us at the Harvard Club of New York for a discussion with NYU Law Professor and ACLU President Deborah Archer about her new book Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality.

Dividing Lines has been described as “an essential account of how transportation infrastructure—from highways and roads to sidewalks and buses—became a means of protecting segregation and inequality after the fall of Jim Crow.”

An award-winning teacher, legal scholar, commentator, and public speaker, Professor Archer will guide us through a lively and wide-ranging discussion regarding the historical design of transportation infrastructure to enforce racial hierarchies, the promise and limitations of our legal infrastructure in this current social and political moment, and the roadmap for a more just and equitable society for all.
