Join Dr Iyiola Solanke, senior lecturer at Leeds School of Law, as she asks how the 1965 Race Relations Act came into being, and how it has changed law and society in the UK and abroad. Dr Solanke will consider whether it has achieved as much as possible, given the structural limitations inherent in its design, and consider how legal protection from racial discrimination will look in 2065.
The lecture will last for approximately 45 minutes, with time for questions afterwards.
