Our country is experiencing a period of accelerated democratic unraveling. But within the danger of this moment, Sherrilyn Ifill will speak at NYPL about the unique opportunity we have to build a healthy, multiracial democracy anchored in the values of equality and justice.

Sherrilyn Ifill currently serves as President and Director-Counsel Emeritus of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. She will be delivering the annual Robert B. Silvers Lecture, an annual series in recognition of the co-founding editor of the New York Review of Books.

Venue: Stephen A Schwarzman Building, NYPL
