About
Join us on Wednesday, November 11 at 5pm PT for an evening with Judge Denny Chin of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and leading civil rights advocates and scholars, including Professor Bob Chang (UCI Law, Korematsu Center), Bethany Li (Asian American Legal Defense Fund) and more for a reenactment of the landmark 1948 U.S. Supreme Court case Oyama v. California.
We will discuss Oyama’s enduring legacies with legal scholars, civil rights advocates, historians, organizers, and policymakers to examine the enduring relationship between national security, foreign policy, democracy, and Asian American civil rights. Oyama provides a powerful historical lens through which to examine recurring questions that confront us today: How do geopolitical rivalries reshape constitutional rights? When do national security claims undermine democratic principles?
Entry is free and open to the public, but space is reserved. RSVP to guarantee a seat at bit.ly/rsvpoyama
