The Association’s
Books at the Bar Committee Presents
Harvard Law Professor Charles J. Ogletree,
Jr.
“ Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v. Board of Ed”
What: Book author lecture
When: Monday, November 29, 2004; from 7 to 9 p.m.
Where: House of the Association, 42 West 44th Street
Come visit the NYC Bar Association when it welcomes
Harvard Law School Professor and civil rights scholar
Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. At the invitation of the
Association’s Books at the Bar Committee, Ogletree
will discuss his new book “All Deliberate Speed:
Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v.
Board of Education” -- a combination of a personal
memoir and a legal analysis of the challenges to
the Brown mandate. Professor Ogletree will examine
the judicial, legislative and societal resistance
to embracing an integrated public education system
and its effect on affirmative action. The professor’s
long record of commitment to public schools and higher
education helped secure his appointment to head the
American Bar Association’s Brown v. Board of
Education Commission, which was created to educate
the public about the history and importance of the
landmark civil rights decision on its 50th anniversary.
There is no charge for admission. The program will
be preceded by a wine and cheese reception at 6 p.m. Members
of the media, please note: Permission to
quote Professor Ogletree from an interview that appears
in the November issue of the Association’s
monthly newsletter, “44th Street Notes,” may
be obtained by contacting Matt Kovary, (212) 382-6713.
Speaker:
CHARLES J. OGLETREE, JR., Jesse Climenko Professor of Law and Vice Dean for
the Clinical Programs, Harvard Law School.
