Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality

Eminent legal scholar and president of the American Civil Liberties Union Deborah Archer offers a critical examination of how transportation infrastructure -- from highways and roads to sidewalks and buses -- has been used to protect segregation and deepen racial inequality in America after the fall of Jim Crow.

This event includes an author talk and panel discussion exploring the intersections of urban planning, law, and social justice across the United States and here in Maine.

This event is FREE to the public. Registration required through Eventbrite.
