Join us in the private dining area of the Meridian Hawthorne's New York Pizza and Bar in Charlotte to watch the live-streamed 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*.
