Clayman Institute Book Talk featuring Prof. Rick Banks - "Is Marriage for White People?"

Clayman Fellow Alumnus and the Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law at Stanford, Rick Banks, will give a talk on his new book, "Is Marriage for White People? How the African American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone". Kirkus Reviews describes the book as "a scholarly account of African-Americans’ encounters with the marriage gap." They go on to call the book "a triumphant work that demystifies the intersection between compatibility and color."
