The talk is co-presented the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice and the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law. Cosponsors include the Public Interest Law Association, the Texas Journal for Civil Liberties & Civil Rights and the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society.
