 Professor Tanya Katerí Hernández, Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law, Fordham Law School

Lecture Description:
Multiracials and Civil Rights examines multiracial discrimination legal cases to explore the question of whether discrimination against racially-mixed people is a challenge to the enforcement of civil rights law, concluding that there is a need to fortify the focus of civil rights law on white racial privilege and the legacy of bias against all non-whites.
Commanding greater public attention is the idea that discrimination against multiracial (racially-mixed) people is a distinctive challenge to the enforcement of civil rights law.
Multiracials and Civil Rights, based upon a close examination of many multiracial discrimination legal cases in a variety of equality law contexts, demonstrates the fallacy and danger of that conjecture.
