Good Law | Bad Law

How can the law be used to hold perpetrators of racial violence and hate crimes accountable?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Kristen Clarke, President and Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, to address the recent rise in hate crimes, discrimination and the intensifying activities of white-supremacist and other hate groups responsible. In today’s episode, Aaron and Kristen also talk about the ground-breaking case Kristen won recently in which she took on a neo-Nazi group for violently targeting a college student in Washington, D.C.   After being elected American University’s first African American female student body president, Taylor Dumpson was met with extreme racism, specifically from a neo-Nazi group and its website, the Daily Stormer.  Students were encouraged and incited to target and harass Taylor. She was sent threatening and racist messages online and she was harassed on campus
