Cooley roundtable event on redlining case set for Oct. 29
Cooley Law School will present a re-enactment of the 1974 U.S. Supreme Court case, Milliken v. Bradley, which addressed the planned desegregation of schools and busing in Detroit, on Friday, Oct. 29, 10:30 a.m., at its Auburn Hills campus.
The re-enactment is part of a day-long event, “From Redlining to White Flight: The History of Housing Segregation and the Importance of Regionalism,” and features Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Marilyn Kelly, U.S. District Judge David Lawson, U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood, and Cooley professors Brent Simmons and Daniel Ray.
The event will examine how past practices and legal decisions contributed to the segregated housing patterns and its effect on school systems seen in metro Detroit today.
The program begins at 10 a.m. with a welcome session. Following the re-enactment, there will be a “Lunch and Justice Deliberation” from 12:30-1:30, then a panel discussion with former Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley, Dykema Law Firm partner and attorney Elliott S. Hall, Director of the Fair Housing Center of Metro Detroit Cliff Schrupp, former 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Nathaniel Jones, and Assistant U.S. District Attorney Judy Levy. The discussion will be led by Kurt Metzger.
The event wraps up at 3:30 p/m. The program is free and open to the public with registration.
