It Is What It Is
Entry 1. 7:22 a.m. The New Yorker has an article about my professor, my mentor, my former boss (I was his TA for two years and then his teaching fellow in constitutional law at NYU), and friend, the late Prof. Derrick Bell Jr. A leading anti-racist, scholar, author and activist of civil rights for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community and more, he taught constitutional law through the lens of critical race theory, and in fact founded the discipline back in the 1970s. A brilliant mind and a compassionate soul, his work is, and will remain, a seminal analysis of race, racism and American law.
