	abstract = {Nearly 400,000 Black men were drafted into the National Army during World War I, wherethey toiled in segregated units and received little formal training. Leveraging novel variationfrom the WWI draft lottery and millions of digitized military and NAACP records, we document the pioneering role these men would play in the early civil rights movement. Relative to observably similar individuals from the same draft board, Black men randomly inducted into the Army were significantly more likely to join the nascent NAACP and to\&nbsp; become prominent community leaders in the New Negro era. We find little evidence that these effects are explained by migration or improved socioeconomic status. Rather,\&nbsp; corroborating historical accounts about the catalyzing influence of institutional racism in the military, we show that increased civic activism was driven by soldiers who experienced the most discriminatory treatment while serving their country.},

	abstract = {We document a sharp rise in gunshots coupled with declining 911 call volume across thirteen major US cities in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. This pattern occurs in both\&nbsp; white and non-white neighborhoods, persists beyond the protest movement, and is not accompanied by large declines in police response times. National survey data indicate victims of crime became less likely to report their victimization due to fear of police harassment. Our results suggest that high profile acts of police violence may erode community engagement with law-enforcement, and highlight the call-to-shot ratio as a natural measure of attitudes towards the police.},

Instrumenting for roadshow destinations using the location of theaters prior to the movie{\textquoteright}s release, I show that the film significantly increased local Klan support in the 1920s. Roadshow counties continue to experience higher rates of hate crimes and hate groups a century later.},

		In 2013, the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Voting Rights Act that mandated federal oversight of election laws in discriminatory jurisdictions, prompting a spate of controversial new voting rules. Utilizing difference-in-differences to examine the act{\textquoteright}s 1975 revision, I provide the first estimates of the effects of "preclearance" oversight. I find that preclearance increased long-run voter turnout by 4-8 percentage points, due to lasting gains in minority participation. Surprisingly, Democratic support dropped sharply in areas subject to oversight. Using historical survey and newspaper data, I provide evidence that this was the result of political backlash among racially conservative whites.
