BLACK QUEERS IN EVERYDAY LIFE |
30 Tulane Journal of Law & Sexuality 139 (2021) |
The rule is that no matter what you do in your artistic expression you are never, ever allowed to upset the alphabet people. You know who I mean. Those people who took twenty percent of the alphabet for themselves. When Dave Chappelle used the words quoted above to suggest that queers were all powerful, I pointed out on social media that these... |

BLACK TRANSIT: WHEN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION DECISION-MAKING LEADS TO NEGATIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT |
106 Iowa Law Review 2369 (July, 2021) |
In 2015, the Governor of Maryland cancelled a light rail project planned for Baltimore City. Around that time, governors in five states had also cancelled federally funded, mass transit rail projects. Each cancellation was similarly justified by claims that the transportation projects were unwise and unnecessary. This trend is concerning... |

2021 University of Illinois Law Review 1821 (2021) |
Since 2018, legalized sports betting has become commonplace in several states and may soon become commonplace in others. Yet, the conversation does not end once the gambler wins or loses a bet on their favorite team's bowl game.

We inherit the belief that the past does not matter - we can start over, we can go beyond the racial thinking that, deep down, nearly every American has known is not a wise way of thinking - the funny and often tragic part being that this anti-historical belief is itself an inheritance from our past. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old... |

Black women die from childbirth at a disproportionately higher rate than white women. Despite knowing about this issue for years, medical professionals cannot attribute this disparity to a physical condition. Multiple studies show physicians' implicit biases lead to poor patient care.

Heirs property is a highly unstable form of land ownership resulting from intestacy that grants full ownership rights to all cotenants, regardless of the size of one's fractional interest. This form of land ownership is particularly vulnerable to partition because any use of the parcel requires consensus among all cotenants, which can be difficult... |
