As ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ prepares for the dedication of a statue honoring one of our most distinguished alumni, Justice John Marshall Harlan, class of 1850, join us for a discussion with Harlan biographer Peter Canellos. Canellos’s acclaimed book, The Great Dissenter: The Story of John Marshall Harlan, America’s Judicial Hero, traces Harlan’s remarkable life and legacy—from his Kentucky upbringing and service in the Civil War to his decades on the Supreme Court. The book highlights Harlan’s lonely but courageous dissents on civil rights cases, particularly his dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, which provided the legal roadmap for dismantling segregation. Canellos is managing editor for enterprise at POLITICO, overseeing the site’s magazine, investigative journalism, and major projects. He has also been POLITICO’s executive editor, overseeing the newsroom during the 2016 presidential coverage, and the editorial page editor of The Boston Globe. This discussion will be moderated by Judge Benjamin Beaton ‘03.
