Ackerman Lecture: Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality
Join Deborah Archer, president of the ACLU National and esteemed legal scholar, for a discussion of her upcoming book Dividing Lines, where she explores how America’s transportation infrastructure has reinforced racial segregation and inequality over the past century. From highways that separate communities to sidewalks that exclude, Archer reveals how seemingly neutral infrastructure choices have perpetuated division. Drawing on history, legal analysis, and real-life testimonies, she offers a critical look at the enduring impact of these systems and outlines a vision for a more equitable future.
