In this episode, former Law School dean Risa Goluboff and alumna Biruktawit Assefa join coauthor (and co-host) Randi Flaherty to discuss how attorney Gregory H. Swanson became the first Black student to integrate the University of Virginia and the UVA School of Law in 1950. In addition to sharing the story of Swanson's time at UVA, these authors explore what was happening in the field of legal education and in desegregation efforts related to higher education at the time of Swanson's ultimately successful bid to enroll as a graduate student at UVA Law.
