Moderated by David Birdsell, Dean of the Marxe School

of Public and International Affairs, the program starts by showing a

documentary film regarding the access to the right to vote guaranteed in the

constitution using North Carolina for the case study of the issues and taking a close look as it relates to national

security, terrorism, social justice and human rights protections against radical

public policies. The panelists include: Ezra Rosenberg of the Voting Rights

Project at Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights under the Law, Melissa Mark-Viverito

of the Latino Victory Fund, and Susan Lerner of the Common Cause of New York. A

Q & A follows the discussions
