 NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and the Center for Human 
 Rights \nand Global Justice at NYU School of Law are pleased to present a 
 legal conference exploring the intersection of immigration and racial 
 justice. \n\nThe year 2020 marks the 35th anniversary of Justice Thurgood 
 Marshall’s groundbreaking dissent in Jean v. Nelson, wherein Justice 
 Marshall called for equal protection to apply to Haitian immigrants, and to 
 prohibit the government from discriminating on the basis of race or 
 national origin. \n\nThe conference begins with a discussion of Jean and 
 the struggle to secure racial justice for Haitian asylum seekers in the 
 1980s. The conference will then explore subsequent efforts by advocates, 
 academics, policymakers, and activists to vindicate the promise of equal 
 protection for immigrants of color in the United States and 
 internationally. \n\nIn the midst of arguably one of the biggest social 
 movements in United States history, this conversation will also contribute 
 to discussions on the Movement for Black Lives. \n\nWe look forward to this 
 timely 
 conversation.\n______________________________________________________________\n\nSCHEDULE:\n\nThursday,
