Civil Rights Are About More Than Liberation
A deep dive into the history of Black civil rights.
I interview Berkeley Law professor Dylan Penningroth to discuss the intersections of Black history, law, and the civil rights movement. Penningroth, author of “Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights” (affiliate link), stresses the importance of viewing the Black community as a diverse group with various perspectives, and using the law as both an instrument of oppression and of change. He speaks on his research challenges and the impacts of corporate law on Black history.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
