Pritzker Fellow Beto O'Rourke on "What Can We Learn from the Struggle for Voting Rights in Texas?"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Wednesday, February 22

3:30-4:45 PM

It took a doctor from El Paso, the son of an enslaved man, over 20 years and 2 Supreme Court cases to defeat the all-white primary in Texas. Dr. Lawrence Nixon’s story is not just a courageous stand for justice, but carries lessons for the continuing fight to expand voting rights today.

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
