Kenji Yoshino to speak in Berea (9/14/2011)

Having been called the face and voice of the new civil rightsDr. Kenji Yoshino argues that each of us “covers” by suppressing aspects of our identity in exchange for acceptance. He articulates the victories and limitations of the movement while pointing a way forward. His landmark book, Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights, was hailed for its potential to be a “touchstone in the struggle for universal human dignity.” Educated at Harvard, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar), and Yale Law School, he is the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at the NYU School of Law.

 

He will speak at Baldwin Wallace College on September 14, 2011.  Click here for more information.
