Getting Along

Earlier this year, the University of Pittsburgh scored a major academic coup, luring law professor Richard Delgado and his wife, Jean Stefancic, away from the University of Colorado. The pair are among the very best scholars of what's now called "Critical Race Theory"--to non-lawyers, they write and teach about race and the law. Pitt is featuring them, along with a group of first-rate nationally-known lawyers and others (including the Dean of Pitt's School of Social Work, Larry Davis) on an all-day program to mark the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark decision on school desegregation, Brown v. Board of Education. The program takes place on Friday, February 6, 2004 at the Pitt Law School (Forbes and Bouquet, in Oakland) and is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Professor Robert Berkeley Harper.
