The University of Memphis School of Law, the Center for Excellence in Decision-Making and the Memphis Bar Association are hosting a free virtual symposium on Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST on a number of issues related to critical race theory (CRT). A keynote speaker and three panels of legal experts will explore using CRT to evaluate the promises of reconstruction; the intersection of property law and critical race theory and how they relate to decisions about urban development and gentrification; rights and obligations in the areas of education, technology and healthcare; and how the CRT battle is being fought in Memphis and more broadly in Tennessee.
