Race in America: Advancing Equality in the 21st Century
Sponsored By: The Lillie & Nathan Ackerman Lecture Series on Equality & Justice in America

Beruch College, based in New York City, enjoys the distinction of being one of the most diverse institutions of higher learning in the nation. Yet despite the incredible racial and ethnic diversity in New York City, it still remains largely segregated, in terms of its residential housing patterns. In 1966, the Gautreaux et al. vc. Chicago Housing Authority lawsuit was filed, thus becoming one of the first lawsuits to challenge racially discriminatory housing patterns and the resulting concentration of low income African Americans in racially isolated ghettos in Chicago. Ten years later, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the Gautreaux plaintiffs and allowed them to pursue integration policies beyond hte city limits.

This naiton has recently celebrated notable civil rights milestones such as the 50th anniversary of the US Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education opinion that effectively overturned the infamous "Separate but equal" doctrine enshrined by the Plessy v. Ferguson (1986) decision and the 40th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, the US Supreme Court remains deeply divided over the use of race in remedies for past discrimination and several key cases on race are expected to be decided during this term that began on October 2, 2006.

Among the questions raised by these developments is how much progress as a nation have we made in redressing issues of racial discrimination in housing and urban planning? Have we made significant progress in integrating our neighborhoods or do racial minorities continue to face isolation and exclusion? Or have we moved beyond the former ideal of integration as the yardstick for measuring progress in race relations, assimilation and inter-cultural interactions? These and other issues will form the context for our discussion of Race in America.

Religion and the Law: The Virtue of Tolerance
Sponsored By: The Lillie & Nathan Ackerman Lecture Series on Equality & Justice in America

One of the cornerstones of American Democracy is the concept of religious freedom. Indeed, the right to freedom of religion is enshrined in our Bill of Rights as our First Amendment to the US Constitution. The tension between the encouragement of religious expression and the prohibition of state preference of one religion over another is often characterized as the separation of Church and State and has been the subject of intense debate since the US Constitution was adopted.

At a time when the nation is sharply divided politically and many political decisions are being influenced by issues of morality and faith, the importance of tolerance as a guiding principle becomes more critical. An urgent question is to what extent government should regulate or intervene in the activities of religious organizations or individual members of diverse religious groups to promote civic harmony. These and other issues converning religious tolerance will be addressed by the religious leaders who have agreed to participate in a roundtable on Religion and the Law: The Virtue of Tolerance.

The Role of the Judiciary and the Rule of Law
Sponsored By: The Lillie & Nathan Ackerman Lecture Series on Equality & Justice in America

One of the distinguishing features of American democracy is our adherence to the Rule of Law and our acceptance of the role of federal courts in resolving cases questioning the maning and interpretation of rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. During this special Fall Ackerman Lecture, we will examine the significance of the Rule of Law to contemporary legal issues facing the judiciary as it administers the Rule of Law. In particular, our speaker and expert panelists will discuss the judicial selection process as it relates to issues of equality and justice.

Recent controversies over the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justices and federal judges have generated concern that political considerations rather than qualifications have become the determining factors. The U.S. Senate's : "advice and consent" role in approving judicial nominations will be explored as well as the standards that are currently being applied by the Executive Branch and the Senate to potential candidates. Our speaker and panelists will offer both practical and philosophical observations about the selection process for judges and their views on whether the current partisan battles have affected the impartial administration of justice that the framers of the U.S. Constitution envisioned.
