James Forman Jr. of Yale Law School will deliver the first Robert A. Ferguson Memorial Lecture on April 12th at 6:00 pm in room 103, Jerome Greene Hall. Professor Forman is the author of Locking up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America and a leading scholar of mass incarceration in the United States. His lecture, "From Inferno to Metamorphosis: Building a Movement to End Mass Punishment," invokes the titles of Professor Ferguson's last two books. This event promises to be a fitting tribute to our late colleague's career as a citizen-scholar and an important intervention in the debate about American justice.
