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.

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.
