Yay for the Declaration of Independence. It was and is something to aspire to and build on. See @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice @VernonBurton1

So the Supreme Court of 2021 takes the route of the Court in the 1890s, allowing severe limitations to the right to vote. People, we know where this leads. See Justice Deferred! @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice
I just read a wonderful review of Justice Deferred in the Princeton PAW. @JusticeDeferred @vernonburton1 #racialjustice
I have just re-read MLK's Letter from Birmingham City Jail (1963). Wow! Every word still relevant. Here's one thought: "I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice..." @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice
TPM just ran an excerpt from Justice Deferred on how the Roberts Court prepared the way to annihilate the Voting Rights Act. @TPM @JusticeDeferred @HC_Richardson #racialjustice
The Progressive Magazine has a fab review of Justice Deferred @fryegalliard @USSupremeCourt #RacialEquity @JusticeDeferred
Do not worry about "Critical Race Theory." Calling it a name so that people can fear it. Teaching about race relations is very simply telling the whole truth about our history. It DOES NOT teach children to hate our country. Absurd! @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice
Loewen is so right about how much white students need to learn about equality. @JusticeDeferred
[p.2] , chance to pick up a book and see a character that looks DIFFERENT from them and thus appreciate the humanity of us all. Hence overwhelmingly White districts need diversity even more! washingtonpost.com/local/edu…
I have been reading about the historiography of the studies of slavery. How can so many have been so wrong? See @JusticeDeferred @JamesWLoewen @VernonBurton1 #racialjustice
So much of the USA today has an interesting history, sometimes horrific, sometimes heroic, sometimes both.
Tulsa Massacre; segregated neighborhoods. Did the Supreme Court have anything to do with this? Read and learn. @joelderfner @VernonBurton1
The story of the Tulsa Massacre needs to be told. Truth has to come before reconciliation. Remember renowned historian John Hope Franklin? His father helped the community in the aftermath of this horrendous event. See Chapter 5 of Justice Deferred. @JusticeDeferred
This book amazes me; comprehensive but so readable!
Happy to report official release of Armand Derfner’s and my Justice Deferred: Race and the Supreme Court and first full review flcourier.com/entertainment/… @flcourier @Harvard_Press @ClemsonHistory @CUAAHResearch @ClemsonCAAH @ClemsonUniv @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice

All these folks want to talk about female tennis players that “paved the way for” Naomi Osaka but I bet most of them have not mentioned Althea Gibson.

This book is amazing, Supreme Court lens on US racial justice. @JusticeDeferred #racialjustice

Just heard discussion of qualified immunity on A1 radio. For the best analysis of qualified immunity see Justice Deferred. A very good, and nuanced, explanation. @justicedeferred @vernonburton1 #racial justice #A1 radio
Just watched interview of Barry Jenkins on Washington Post Live. Wow! We definitely need to see his TV series on Whitehead’s Underground Railroad. So much more to say…@barryJenkins @JusticeDeferred @vernonburton1 @michele_norris #racial justice
just listened to Annette Gordon Reed's wonderful interview on Fresh Air. For more on the Supreme Court's role in segregation, desegregation, and resegregation, see Justice Deferred. @freshair #race relations #Supreme Court #justicedeferred
