Description

First enacted to ensure southern states respected the rights of newly freed slaves, the 14th Amendment is indispensable to modern civil rights litigation. But what does the amendment say and how does IJ use it to challenge everything from harassment by police to undue burdens on hair braiders? 


Today we’ll discuss all that and more with IJ attorneys Bob McNamara and John Wrench.
