The United States Supreme Court agreed in the summer of 2025 to hear the appeal of a former Louisiana prisoner, Damon Landor, whose dreadlocks were cut by prison officials in violation of Landor's Rastafari faith convictions. Our lecturer, Dr. Middleton, helped to write an "amicus brief" that his team filed in September 2025. Middleton will describe his experience on this religious liberty case, comment on what this means for the Rastafari religious movement nationally and internationally, and then answer any questions you may have.
