Before the Civil War, these free, openly mixed-race urbanites enjoyed some rights of citizenship and the privileges of wealth and social status. But after Emancipation, as the formerly enslaved move to assert their rights, the black-white binary that rules the rest of the nation begins to intrude. The presentation will revisit a series of intellectually provocative late-nineteenth-century court challenges to segregation brought by openly mixed-race Louisiana plaintiffs.A free signed copy of the book will be given to the first 15 individuals who REGISTER and ATTEND the event. MUST BE PRESENT.SpeakerDaniel Brook is a journalist and author whose writing has appeared in Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, and Legal Affairs.

His next book, The Einstein of Sex, an intellectual biography of the Berlin-based race, gender, and sexuality theorist and activist Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) will be published by W. W. Norton in 2025. Brook's research and writing have been supported by fellowships from institutions including the Library of Congress and Tulane University's New Orleans Center for the Gulf South.
