Talking “Racial Reconciliation” with Prof Kennedy

The West Point Humanities Center, along with the Department of English and Philosophy (DEP) and the Department of Law co-hosted Professor Randall Kennedy for a discussion entitled, "Racial Reconciliation and Beyond." A Rhodes Scholar and distinguished author, Kennedy is a professor at Harvard Law School and served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. In the Haig Room at Jefferson Hall, Kennedy and DEP instructor Major Trivius Caldwell participated in a ninety-minute dialogue in front of more than sixty cadets, faculty, and staff – including the Dean of the Academic Board, Brigadier General Cindy Jebb. The two scholars discussed a wide-range of topics related to past and present concerns about race relations in America.
