Two law professors, Charles Ogletree and Kathleen Sullivan, argued a case before a panel of judges. The case takes place in 2013 with the University of Kentucky using DNA as a factor in determining race. Those results along with other criteria determine admittance to the school. The plaintiff is a young African-American man who was denied admittance because his DNA test says he’s mostly European even though his appearance, upbringing, and experience is that of a black person.
“Debating the Future of Race” was a program of the Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution at the National Constitution Center. It was held in the Ceremonial Courtroom of the U.S. Courthouse.
