Campus Fishbowl Discussion on the Status of our Civil Rights

What do recent legal decisions say about the status of minorities in our country? This fishbowl-style discussion, held September 11, 2013, addresses the relative importance of Supreme Court rulings on the Voting Rights Act and Affirmative Action, the federal court judgment against the "Stop and Frisk" program in New York City, and the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The "fish" also weigh in on gay rights victories such as the overturning of Defense of Marriage Act provisions and the legalization of same-sex marriage in several jurisdictions. Issues surrounding immigration and undocumented aliens also arise. Presented by the Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J. Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture.
