We are pleased to welcome Dr. James Piereson as our Annual Lecture speaker, on the topic: Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts after Six Decades.

Dr. Piereson will discuss two current Supreme Court Cases -- the admissions case under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Alabama districting case (Merrill (Alabama) v. Milligan) under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  These cases involve reassessments of court interpretations of these Acts, and, with decisions due in June, it is a timely topic.
