SCOTUSblog's Black History Month Series

Sherrilyn Ifill's The Root column notes her surprise at the lack of diversity in SCOTUSblog's "Race and the Supreme Court" series. Of sixteen scheduled commentators, three are black men, none are Latino or Asian-American, and none are women of color. Arguing that "the decision to publish a nearly all-white lineup of scholars for its Black History Month program seems careless--or arrogant," Ifill lists by name scholars and litigators of color "who have important and compelling points to make about the role of the Supreme Court on race issues."
