Martha Jones, co-director of Michigan Law's Program in Race, Law & History and associate professor of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, has conducted research on the history of race, citizenship and slavery. "We might frame Ferguson as part of a long history of racial violence, from slavery to lynching.
