This document discusses the changing racial demographics in America and issues of racism and tolerance. It notes that as the US becomes more multiracial, there is hope that society will become more accepting of people from all backgrounds. However, racism still exists and many challenges remain, such as confronting stereotypes, having open discussions about race, and moving beyond just tolerance to acceptance of all people regardless of their race or ethnicity. The document advocates for equality and argues that as diversity increases, the importance of racial categories may diminish over time.

Arizona State University School of Justice & Social Inquiry provided an ideal
venue to complete this research, not just because of the encouragement my
colleagues offered, but because of their inspiring commitment to the study of
justice. They will recognize their influence by some of the arguments I make in
this book, and by my frequent citations to their work. Various graduate students
were very helpful in digging out obscure sources and making suggestions. I am
grateful to Francine Banner, Gregory Broberg, Michael Coyle, Amy Gay,
Rosalie Gonzales, and William Parkin.
I also want to thank John Tryneski, Rodney Powell, and two anonymous

husband, Michael Shelton. Charlie was always willing to read a draft, fix a
problem with my computer, or help me resolve any difficulty I faced in turning
ideas into prose. Without his help, another year might have passed before this
book appeared. Stuart offered regular and welcome encouragement every step of
the way, as well as many good ...
This Live Seminar examined how recent legal and policy trends—punctuated by a June 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision—may alter modalities of humanitarian engagement with non-state armed groups.

11. Duke Law Die In
December 10, 2014
More than 60 members of the Duke Law community held a “die-in” in Star Commons on Dec.
10 to peaceably protest the death of New York resident Eric Garner and other unarmed black
and minority individuals killed by police officers in recent years. Holding signs bearing the
names of men and women killed, participants, including students, faculty, and staff, laid on the
floor in silence for 11 minutes — one minute for each time Garner told police he couldn’t
breathe as they continued to forcibly restrain him.

and youth who had previously been arrested. A decade later, in 2007, the Maya Angelou School
expanded and agreed to run the school inside D.C.’s juvenile prison. The prison school, which had
long been an abysmal failure, has been transformed under the leadership of the Maya Angelou staff;
the court monitor overseeing D.C.’s juvenile system called the turnaround “extraordinary.”
Professor Forman is a graduate of Atlanta’s Roosevelt High School, Brown University, and Yale
Law School, and was a law clerk for Judge William Norris of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the United States Supreme Court. After clerking,

24. Alejandra Gomez was born in Pomona, California to immigrant parents. She became aware
of the broken immigration system in the United States at a young age following the passage of
Proposition 187. Proposition 187 was an anti-immigration law that targeted undocumented
immigrants living in California in the mid-1990s. Ms. Gomez’s father at the time was undocumented
and Proposition 187 forced Ms. Gomez’s family to move to Arizona in hopes of escaping the
dangers of Proposition 187 and other anti-immigrant sentiment.
Ms. Gomez began her career in community organizing in 2007, during the beginning of Sherriff Joe
Arpaio’s criminal suppression sweeps that were racially charged and targeted immigrant
communities. Seeing the fear and harassment her community was experiencing and the reminder of
her own childhood, Ms. Gomez began working with Maricopa Citizens for Safety and
Accountability to organize against Sherriff Arpaio and his unfair practices.
Since her start in organizing, Ms. Gomez has focused her work on immigration rights through large-
scale civic engagement efforts to bring out the Latino vote and direct action. Ms. Gomez lives in
Phoenix, AZ and holds a B.A. in Political Science from Arizona State University. She has dedicated
her life to social justice and community empowerment through grassroots mobilization.

32. Jacqueline Berrien
(1961-2015)
We are deeply saddened by the death of Jacqueline Berrien,
a champion for civil rights.
By SAM ROBERTS NOV. 11, 2015
Jacqueline Berrien, a civil rights lawyer who was
President Obama’s chairwoman of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, died on
Monday in Baltimore. She was 53.
The cause was cancer, her friend Melanie
Eversley said. Ms. Berrien became ill in August
during the N.A.A.C.P.’s Journey for Justice
march from Selma, Ala., to Washington.
“Her last act was doing what she loved: civil
rights,” said her husband, Peter M. Williams, the
executive vice president for programs for the
National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
The E.E.O.C. had a number of successes during
Ms. Berrien’s tenure as its chairwoman, from
April 2010 through August 2014: It promulgated
rules against discrimination in employment and
health-insurance enrollment on the basis of
disability or genetic test results; it won a record
$240 million jury verdict (reduced to $1.6
million because of a statutory cap on damages)
against a company accused of abusing workers
with intellectual disabilities at an Iowa turkey
processing plant; and it significantly reduced its
case backlog.
Her death prompted accolades from former
colleagues, including the president and Michelle
Obama, who praised her “leadership and passion
for ensuring everyone gets a fair chance to
succeed in the workplace.”
Jacqueline Ann Berrien was born in Washington
on Nov. 28, 1961. Her father, Clifford, was a
pharmacist. Her mother, the former Anna Belle
Smith, was a nurse.
Ms. Berrien graduated from Oberlin College and
from Harvard Law School, where she was general
editor of The Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties
Law Review. After serving as a clerk for a federal
judge, she joined the Lawyers’ Committee for
Civil Rights and the Women’s Rights Project of
the American Civil Liberties Union.
In 1994, she became an assistant counsel to the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund, focusing on voting
rights and school desegregation litigation. After
working at the Ford Foundation, she returned as
associate director-counsel of the fund, whose
national headquarters is in New York.
She taught at Harvard Law School and New York
Law School and lived most recently in
Washington. In addition to her husband, she is
survived by a brother, Clifford Eric Berrien.
“Jackie believed in helping the underdog,” Ms.
Eversley said. “She always talked about how the
real movers of the civil rights movement were
unsung residents of small towns in the South
who risked lives and jobs to march and defy the
status quo.”
In her civil rights work, Ms. Berrien took the long
view.
“Will the workplace be more inclusive and
discrimination less common when my children,
my godchildren, or my nieces and nephews enter
it?” she asked in an interview with The
Washington Post in 2011.
“The essence of the work of advancing and
protecting civil rights in this country,” she added,
“is very much something where our ultimate
success will manifest in decades. It will be
measured by how different life is for someone
who is a child today.”
