Racism, African Americans and Social Justice
Nov. 24, 11 a.m.
University Club
A UofL NETWORK luncheon talk. Cost is $10 for lunch. Reservations are required via Linda L. Wilson or Marian Vasser.
Race, Politics and Criminal Justice
Nov. 24, 1–3:30 p.m.
Chao Auditorium, Ekstrom Library
Admission is free and open to the public.
Rudolph Alexander Jr., a social work professor at Ohio State University and former death-row inmate, will talk about his book “Racism, African Americans and Social Justice” Nov. 24 at two University of Louisville events.
Alexander’s book is part of students’ reading at UofL’s Kent School of Social Work. In it, he describes how injustices in the criminal justice system affected him after his arrest at 17 in a gang member’s murder.
His death sentence was reduced to life in prison after his appeal and some applicable Supreme Court rulings, and he served nearly eight years in prison. After his parole from a Georgia prison, he earned advanced degrees in social work and later joined the OSU faculty.
Alexander is scheduled at 11 a.m. to speak at a UofL NETWORK luncheon on the topic “Racism, African Americans and Social Justice.” The author also will sign his book, copies of which will be for sale.
At 1 p.m., Alexander will discuss “Race, Politics and Criminal Justice” in a talk sponsored by Kent School at Ekstrom Library. He is expected to tie excerpts from his book to current events in politics and criminal justice. He plans to discuss President-elect Barack Obama and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
The program will begin with a talk by local social justice activist Christopher 2X, with the Ceremonial Healing Group of Louisville, about “The Value of Service.”
Alexander conducts research in adult and juvenile corrections, deviance and psychopathology and has written several books. His latest, “Beyond Micro: A Macro Understanding of Human Behavior and the Social Environment,” is set for publication next year.
