Abstract
This presentation will show how an effort to surmount America’s racist past has shaped the U.S. Supreme Court’s racial equality opinions. The speaker will argue that the Court has pursued “racial transition” in two main ways—“reckoning” with and “distancing” from the past. The talk will further reveal how the Court’s inadequate treatment of transitional justice values (accountability, redress, non-repetition, and reconciliation) has inhibited America’s transition from white supremacy.
