Comcast v. National Association of African American-Owned Media

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in Comcast v. National Association of African American-Owned Media. This is a discrimination suit brought by the African American actor and comedian Byron Allen against Comcast for failure to carry his network. Allen alleges that the reason Comcast decided not to carry his network was based on race, and Allen is suing under the Civil Rights Act of 1866. During this show, we talk about the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and how the Supreme Court's decision may affect the future of the country's oldest civil rights statute with Don Corbett, Professor of Law at North Carolina Central University School of Law.
