Professor Carodine Says Obama May Address Race Relations More Openly After He Leaves White House

May 6, 2015

Prof. Montre Carodine recently told The Washington Times that President Barack Obama may pursue a more frank discussion on race relations after he leaves office.

“I think this would be a great avenue for him to pursue when he’s out of the White House. Of course he’ll be able to speak more frankly, more openly, more honestly about what’s really going on in the streets of America with black youth. And I think it will be well received,” said Carodine, a professor at the University of Alabama School of Law who has written extensively on race relations and the criminal justice system.

“I do look forward to seeing what he does on these issues once he’s out of the White House, once he can speak more frankly,” she continued. “I think we will see him really blossom in this area once he leaves office.”
