“A Long Road to Justice”
www.masshist.org/longroad
"A Long Road to Justice" is an important, museum exhibit
concerning the African American experience in
Massachusetts state courts from colonial times through the
present. In addition to the exhibit, it offers on-line
supplementary educational materials.
"For more than three hundred years, African Americans
have sought racial justice in the Massachusetts courts. In
examining this history, we see that victories have been won
only through perseverance, courage and the willingness—
often with blacks and whites joining forces—to take
substantial risks. For African Americans in Massachusetts,
the road to justice has been marked by high drama,
agonizing frustration, great success and tragic
disappointment.
The court system is not perfect, and its procedures are
often arduous. While continuing to vigorously use the legal
system, we also must recognize that achieving racial justice
cannot be left to the courts alone: it must begin in the
hearts and minds of each of us."

Charles Hamilton Houston Institute
for Race and Justice
http://www.charleshamiltonhouston.org
Established in the fall of 2005 at Harvard Law School
by Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., the Charles
Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice
(CHHIRJ) seeks to honor the extraordinary
contributions of one of the great lawyers of the
twentieth century. Charles Hamilton Houston dedicated
his life to using the law as a tool to reverse the unjust
consequences of racial discrimination. CHHIRJ is
committed to marshalling the resources of Harvard and
beyond to continue his unfinished work.
Founded in 1988 by Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr.,
one of the goals of the Saturday School Program is to
give speakers an opportunity to present cutting edge,
and often controversial, works in progress to a group
of articulate, critical, and reflective law faculty, staff,
students, and other representatives of the local
community. This goal is accomplished through a series
of informal lectures by individuals from diverse
backgrounds and careers, such as law professors,
judges, business leaders, artists, writers, law
enforcements and other government officials.
