"Shanghai Survivor Talk: Laurence Tribe
Born to Russian Jewish refugees in Shanghai, China, Harvard Constitutional Law Professor Laurence Tribe was not yet 4 when his dad was liberated at a Japanese Prison Camp by the U.S. Military.
Born in China to Russian Jewish refugees who fled antisemitism in Europe, Tribe is a renown constitutional law scholar whose treatise, American Constitutional Law, is cited more than any other legal text since 1950. His Harvard Law students include President Barack Obama, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, and Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Elena Kagan.

Join us to hear how his early life in a war-torn Shanghai as the child of refugees, persecuted because of their identity, shaped his distinguished, notable career."
