Episode description
Are America’s civil rights laws a failure? Stanford Law professor and “Rights Gone Wrong” author Richard Thompson Ford argues that while they have been successful in fighting overt discrimination, they’ve fallen short in addressing other social injustices and in some cases, have been hijacked by political extremists for personal advantage. Ford is interviewed by Jennifer Burton, a visiting scholar to UC San Diego. Series: "Revelle Forum" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 22625]
