The program will examine the “Second Founding” – the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and related civil rights statutes. The knowledgeable panel will discuss the amendments and the extent to which these amendments were able to remediate the lingering effects of slavery, recognize Black citizenship, protect rights to due process and equal protection for all, and enfranchise African Americans.

In addition, the program will discuss the ebb and flow of racial progress in Pittsburgh during this time period, including within the legal community.

This program is a follow-up to the ACBA’s Feb. 11 CLE “A History of the Advancement of Women and African Americans in the Pittsburgh Bar.” There is no prerequisite to attend either program.
