A discussion was held on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Dred Scott decision, where Dred Scott had sued for his freedom. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that blacks could never be citizens of the United States. After opening remarks, Mr. Shurtleff moderated a discussion of the impact of that decision. Lynne Jackson is the great-great-granddaughter of Dred Scott. A video clip was shown of a PBS program about the case. The speakers responded to audience members' questions.

This event was the final plenary session of the annual spring meeting of the National Association of Attorneys General. close
