DIVERSITY SPEAKER SERIES: EXPANDING OUR WORLD VIEW
Since 2005, Crowell & Moring has hosted its Diversity Speaker Series, featuring distinguished speakers from various backgrounds to share their unique experiences and perspectives with our lawyers and staff in an effort to further foster cultural competence and awareness of various historically underrepresented communities. The programs are broadcast to all offices, and speaker selections often coincide with, but are not limited to, cultural heritage months.
FEBRUARY: BLACK HISTORY MONTH Nationally recognized voting rights and election law expert Gilda Daniels kicked off our 2020 Speaker Series. Currently an associate professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law and Director of Litigation for Advancement Project’s National Office, Gilda served as a deputy chief in the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Voting Section during both the Clinton and Bush administrations. Gilda discussed her book, “Uncounted: The Crisis of Voter Suppression in America,” which explores the phenomenon of disenfranchisement through the lens of history, race, law, and the democratic process and warns that restrictive laws and other deceptive practices are eroding the right to vote.
