Fordham Law School professor Robin Lenhardt delivers remarks at the opening of the school’s Center on Race, Law and Justice. The center will bring together Fordham professors from various disciplines to produce scholarly works and policy recommendations on topics such as the role of law in structuring racial inequality.

Lenhardt, who directs the center, said it will address racial issues on both the national and international levels while examining diversity and inclusion at Fordham. “We’re going to have to talk about access, about opportunity, discrimination and microaggressions that impede the development and education of everybody in our building,” she said.
