RightsWatch: Voting Rights
The RightsWatch Series began in Spring 2017 and continues in Fall 2017. On November 2, we'll hold a discussion about law, history, and advocacy surrounding voting rights in the United States and in North Carolina. Panelists include Duke Law professor Guy-Uriel Charles, Rob Schofield of NC Policy Watch, and Emily Seawell of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
Over the next four years, we are likely to witness dramatic changes in how the US government sees and treats fundamental rights. RightsWatch seeks to bring Duke scholars and activists in conversation about the rights debates that will shape the future. These panels are designed to comment on a fast-moving political scene while at the same time engaging in civil - and deeply civic - conversation.
