Shanghai Survivor Talk: Laurence Tribe |
|
Born in China to Russian Jewish refugees who fled antisemitism in Europe, Tribe is a renown constitutional law scholar whose treatise, American Constitutional Law, is cited more than any other legal text since 1950. His Harvard Law students include President Barack Obama, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, and Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Elena Kagan.
Join us to hear how his early life in a war-torn Shanghai as the child of refugees, persecuted because of their identity, shaped his distinguished, notable career. This program is in conjunction with Holocaust Museum LA's Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story exhibit and moderated by exhibit curator Jordanna Gessler. |
