COX, HALPRIN, AND DISCRIMINATORY MUNICIPAL SERVICES UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT |
41 Indiana Law Review 717 (2008) |
When the Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) was passed forty years ago, its proponents saw it as a way of breaking the bonds of race-based ghettos and, with them, the limits on blacks' access to equal opportunity in education, suburban jobs, and all other aspects of the American dream. The goal of the FHA was not merely to end housing discrimination... |

In Ernest Gaines's novel A Lesson Before Dying, Gaines tells the story of Jefferson, a young African-American man convicted of murdering a white grocery store owner in a small Louisiana town in the late 1940s.

A JUDICIAL ABANDONMENT OF BLACKS? RETHINKING THE "STATE ACTION" CASES OF THE WAITE COURT |

This article reconsiders the conventional wisdom that the Supreme Court definitively abandoned the freedmen to their former masters through the state action decisions of the 1870s and 1880s. Arguing that anachronisms distort our understanding of this critical period, I offer an historical institutional analysis of state action doctrine by... |

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSIONS FROM CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: HOW MANY WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT? |
72 Brooklyn Law Review 1211 (Summer, 2007) |
Plenty is wrong with capital punishment. Even for people who support the death penalty in principle, many reasons exist to oppose the actual, real-world operation of this punishment. One well-noted problem is that defendants who are poor, or black, or whose victims were white, are disproportionately likely to be sentenced to death. Additionally,... |

THE OBLIGATION THESIS: UNDERSTANDING THE PERSISTENT "BLACK VOICE" IN MODERN LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP |

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).

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.

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.
