The University of Maryland's Francis King Carey School of Law announced this week the launch of a center in Baltimore that will be dedicated to education, advocacy and research on racial justice under the leadership of several trailblazing legal scholars at what is now one of the U.S.' oldest law schools.
Michael Pinard, the faculty director for the Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law, said the murder of George Floyd in 2020 "is what really propelled the center."
