On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for August 14, 2021, we're joined by Stephen Lowe to discuss his book, The Slow Undoing: The Federal Courts and the Long Struggle for Civil Rights in South Carolina (2021, USC Press). Lowe argues for a reconsideration of the role of the federal courts in the civil rights movement, and places the courts as a central battleground at the intersections of struggles over race, law, and civil rights.
