This year's Reith lecturer is Professor Patricia Williams, one of the most provocative intellectuals in American law.

In her fifth and final Reith lecture, Professor Patricia Williams explores ways of preventing racism. She attempts to point the way forward by drawing out solutions which include developing the ability to resist racism's inevitability and reconciling racial tensions across the divide.
