ACS Chicago: The Fall of Affirmative Action Book Talk with Justin Driver

Please join the ACS Chicago Lawyer Chapter in welcoming Justin Driver, who will discuss his new book The Fall of Affirmative Action: Race, the Supreme Court, and the Future of Higher Education. The Fall of Affirmative Action provides a blueprint for the future—a rallying cry for citizens to forge new paths to inclusion and push back against the notion that racial equality is doomed. The death of affirmative action, Driver insists, need not mean the death of opportunity.
