North Carolina Icons: The Long View on the Flight for Civil Rights
Join us for an intimate fireside chat with two of North Carolina's most distinguished civil rights leaders, Leslie Winner and Angela Bryant, in conversation with SCSJ Senior Counsel for Voting Rights, Hilary Harris Klein. Leslie Winner was the lead trial attorney in Thornburg v. Gingles, the landmark Supreme Court case that transformed voting rights for Black communities across the South. Angela Bryant has spent decades fighting for those same communities in the halls of the North Carolina legislature and beyond.
Together, they’ll reflect on the long arc of this work — the wins, the setbacks, and what it takes to keep going — and offer their perspective on what the post-Callais landscape means for North Carolina and the South.
