The ACS DC Lawyer Chapter and the Washington Council of Lawyers is excited to feature a riveting unparalleled presentation: Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America, by Jeffery Robinson of the Who We Are Project.
The Who We Are Project asserts that the narrative in America about the impact of racism and white supremacy on the social, legal, political, and economic aspects of our culture is based on a “re-telling” of history that is incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading. This compelling, meticulously researched, multi-media presentation will challenge your understanding of the American narrative on our history of racism.
This event will take place on Wednesday, April 28, from 5:30-8:30 pm ET. Three hours on Zoom? Yes. This is a compelling presentation and we promise that you will be glued to the screen the entire time.
Featuring:
Jeffery Robinson, Founder and Executive Producer, Who We Are Project

The Stanford Law ACS Student Chapter is proud to welcome Alexandra Brodsky, civil rights attorney and author, who will speak on the complicated intersection of recent feminist movements to protect victims and concerns about fairness to the accused. In her new book, Sexual Justice: Supporting Victims, Ensuring Due Process, and Resisting the Conservative Backlash (Metropolitan, August 2021), Alexandra argues that fair process can and must be a core part of the #MeToo movement--but that we should be wary of an anti-feminist backlash that has co-opted due process values to roll back progress on sexual harassment. For this event we are happy to have our very own SLS Professor Barbara Fried moderate this discussion.
