Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law

Launched in September 2023, the Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law is mission-focused on working in partnership to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities impacted by historical and modern-day racial and intersectional oppression.
Our vision is to work collaboratively to reimagine and transform institutions and systems of racial and intersectional inequality, marginalization, and oppression. The center engages in these efforts in partnership with diverse leaders and stakeholders in Baltimore, in Maryland, and throughout the United States, including individuals and communities directly impacted by inequality and injustice and organizations committed to racial and economic justice. While the center aims to reach far, it is rooted in Baltimore. It is for Baltimore as well as of Baltimore.
The Gibson-Banks Center examines, engages, and addresses persistent issues of inequality and justice with a focus on systems, institutions, and visions that stakeholders have identified in a wide range of areas, including the criminal legal system, economic justice, employment, education, housing, health, voting/redistricting, technology, transportation, and emerging issues.
