    Honor Bound: Coming Out in the Military

    In 1987, at the top of his class and weeks away from graduation, Steffan was forced to resign and sued the Department of Defense, ultimately losing his legal case in 1994. Stefan’s personal papers, correspondence and legal files are a collection in the Law Library Archives. This event will delve into Steffan’s story, the significance of the exhibit, and the broader impact of inclusion and representation in the armed forces.

    This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided.

    A companion exhibit is on display in the Law Library

    Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with history, advocacy, and personal courage. We look forward to seeing you there!

    The racial wealth gap in the United States has witnessed alarming growth in recent years, with BIPOC households now possessing less than 25% of the wealth held by their white counterparts. A substantial portion of this wealth gap can be attributed to disparities in housing. Owning a home remains a principal method for building and transferring wealth, constituting approximately 70% of an individual’s net worth. However, challenges such as housing discrimination, restrictive zoning laws, income disparities and lending practices have created barriers to homeownership, particularly for BIPOC individuals and first-time homebuyers.

    Real estate lawyers and practitioners have a unique opportunity to address this critical issue by creating new pathways to homeownership for increasingly diverse communities. We invite you to join this critical examination of how real estate law plays a pivotal role in the short-term provision of affordable housing to underserved communities and, in the long term, contributes to the wealth accumulation of Black individuals and families.

    RSVP HERE!
