2007 University of Chicago Legal Forum 93 (2007) |

IMAGES OF THE "SOCIALLY DISINHERITED": INNER-CITY YOUTH IN RAP MUSIC |
10 Journal of Law and Family Studies 111 (2007) |
While mainstream American media consistently portray urban youth of color from a stereotypical, deficit-based, and deleterious standpoint, these images run in startling contrast to portrayals in rap music. Rap music artists, instead, consistently document the neglect and abandonment of youth of color in America's devastated inner-city landscapes.... |

THE OBLIGATION THESIS: UNDERSTANDING THE PERSISTENT "BLACK VOICE" IN MODERN LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP |
68 University of Pittsburgh Law Review 643 (Spring, 2007) |
This Article revisits the debate over minority voice scholarship, particularly African-American scholarship, that raged in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the advent of critical race theory (CRT). Many critical race theorists elevated the voices of minority scholars, arguing that scholarship in the minority voice should be accorded greater... |

THE RACE AND CLASS NEXUS: AN INTERSECTIONAL PERSPECTIVE |
25 Law & Inequality: A Journal of Theory and Practice 355 (Summer 2007) |
In his groundbreaking 1903 treatise, The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line. A century later, and a generation removed from the struggles of the Civil Rights era, many now suggest that class, not race, is the greatest cleavage in American society. They maintain that any... |

A MISSING PIECE: FAIR HOUSING AND THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT |
48 Howard Law Journal 841 (Spring 2005) |
It is generally acknowledged that the 1964 Civil Rights Act is the most comprehensive civil rights statute in the nation's history. Yet the Act did not address fair housing. It did not have explicit provisions designed to combat housing discrimination, one of the most deeply entrenched aspects of racial subordination. Only in Title VI of the Act,... |

Since April 22, 1987, when the United States Supreme Court handed down McCleskey v. Kemp, the death penalty in America has operated in a twilight of simultaneous acknowledgement and denial of racial discrimination in the ultimate punishment. In McCleskey, the Supreme Court admitted the existence of racial disparity in capital sentencing, but... |

In the aftermath of Governor Ryan's decision in 2003 to commute the sentences of each offender on Illinois' death row, various scholars have claimed that Ryan's action was cruel, callous, a grave injustice, and, from a retributivist perspective, an unmitigated moral disaster. This Article contests that position, showing not only why a... |

VICTIMHOOD TO AGENCY: A CONSTRUCTIONIST COMPARISON OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION TO RELIGIOUS ORIENTATION |

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words bear a timeless truth to the extent that he spoke about our nation's aspirations for justice for all. But when Coretta Scott King expounded on Dr. King's words, she took the notion of justice for all to a new level. Specifically, she tied the notion of... |
