In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building, Gary Muldoon will review Separate: The Story of Plessy V. Ferguson and America's Journey from Slavery to Segregation by Steve Luxenberg.

"The Plessy case was a knife that cleaved America, and Steve Luxenberg brilliantly reveals that divide … in the battle over racial justice. Every paragraph resonates in today's headlines." —Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, and professor of history, Tulane
