Pizza & Principles: Live Libertarian Debates: Affirmative Action in Colleges

Join us in the private dining area of the Meridian Hawthorne's New York Pizza and Bar in Charlotte to watch the Soho Forum Debate between Paul Frymer and Jason Riley on the use of DEI in higher education. The only cost is the food or drinks you purchase, so come eat drink and fellowship with us.

The Resolution:

### The U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision to dismantle affirmative action in American higher education marked a significant regression in the pursuit of racial equality.

For the affirmative: Paul Frymer is a professor of politics at Princeton University, specializing in American politics, law, civil rights, race, labor, political parties, and institutional development. He is the author of Uneasy Alliances: Race and Party Competition in America and Black and Blue: African Americans, the Labor Movement, and the Decline of the Democratic Party.

For the negative: Jason Riley is an opinion columnist at The Wall Street Journal, where his column, Upward Mobility, has run since 2016. He is also a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of several books, including Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed, False Black Power?, Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell, and The Affirmative Action Myth: Why Blacks Don't Need Racial Preferences To Succeed.
