Episode 65 – The Golden Era

Dr. Vanessa Tyler continues her conversation with the president of the ACLU and Associate Dean at New York Universtiy School of Law Deborah Archer. Deborah provides insight into how the ACLU and others are fighting against the apparent destruction of our democracy and the dismantling of our civil liberties and equality infrastructure. She discusses past successes through litigation and how they continue to use the law to combat executive orders and mandates that threaten our community. Deborah has also written a book titled “Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality” that details the role race has played in the U.S. transportation infrastructure over the years. Through city planning, highway building and property evaluations, city officials have used these tools to suppress Black communities and restrict economic growth.
