This episode reflects on the 60th anniversary of pivotal Civil Rights Acts, including the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which reshaped America's racial and immigration landscape. We examine the profound intersection of race, immigration, and the American legal system, exploring how these laws opened new opportunities and perpetuated systemic inequalities. 

From the passage of landmark legislation in the 1960s to the ongoing struggle for racial equity today, we ask: How did we get to this point? How have the legacies of these laws continued to affect marginalized communities, especially immigrants of color? And can the framework of Critical Race Theory—challenging structural racism and advocating for policy change—offer a path forward in the fight for justice and equality? Join us as we navigate the complex history and evolving discourse on race and immigration in America.
