1:00 PM
Location: 200 McAllister, Alumni Reception Center
Please join us for an interview of Victoria Saker Woeste, Research Professor of American Bar Foundation. Professor Reuel Schiller will interview Professor Woeste on her current work Suing Henry Ford: American's First Hate Speech Case.
Suing Henry Ford: America’s First Hate Speech Case, is an explosive re-telling of a familiar episode in American history: the 1927 libel lawsuit against Henry Ford and his anti-Semitic newspaper. This study opens previously unexplored vistas into the history of the legal profession, the history of hate speech, and the history of civil rights activism. Other projects include a biographical study of the civil rights lawyer Louis Marshall (1856-1929) and a study of the relationship between farm size, farm ownership (including racial and gender factors), and agricultural monopoly after World War II.
Refreshments will be served.
