South Carolina Lede

August 14, 2021 — We're joined by Stephen Lowe, professor of History and director of Liberal Studies and Organizational Leadership at University of South Carolina Union and Palmetto College. Lowe's book 'The Slow Undoing: The Federal Courts and the Long Struggle for Civil Rights in South Carolina' (2021, USC Press) argues for a reconsideration of the role of the federal courts in the civil rights movement, and places the courts as a central battleground at the intersections of struggles over race, law, and civil rights.
