Derry’s Guildhall was packed to capacity on Friday evening, May 29, for a visit by eminent American civil rights scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw.
Professor Crenshaw added the city to her European book tour following an invitation by North West Migrants Chief Executive Lilian Seenoi Barr.
The two women struck up a friendship during a visit in 2024 by Councillor Barr to the USA as part of her year as Mayor of Derry and Strabane.
Kimberlé Crenshaw, a distinguished professor of law at both UCLA School of Law in California and Columbia Law School in New York, is one of the most influential thinkers in America.
Following the publication of Backtalker, Ms Crenshaw’s hotly anticipated memoir, she embarked on an American and then European tour with engagements in France, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Derry.
