About the Book

In this ambitious volume, leading legal and educational scholars examine San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez (1973), the landmark US Supreme Court decision that held that the Constitution does not guarantee equality of educational opportunity. Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., and Kimberly Jenkins Robinson have brought together a host of experts in their field to examine the road that led up to the Rodriguez decision, assess the successes and failures of the reforms that followed in its wake, and lay out an array of creative strategies for addressing the ongoing inequality of resources and socioeconomic segregation that perpetuate the inequity of opportunity in education.

Successive waves of school reform efforts have failed to counteract the pernicious effects of inequality on student learning and achievement. The widely perceived exhaustion of these conventional approaches has led to a renewed interest in the Rodriguez decision and its impact on efforts to improve educational opportunity and outcomes for all students. A timely volume, The Enduring Legacy of Rodriguez makes a comprehensive statement that will inform research and reform for the next generation of scholars, educators, lawyers, and policy makers.
About the Author: Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., the Harvard Law School Jesse Climenko Professor of Law and founding and executive director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, is a prominent legal theorist who has made an international reputation by taking a hard look at complex issues of law and by working to secure the rights guaranteed by the Constitution for everyone equally under the law. Ogletree opened the offices of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice (http: //www.charleshamiltonhouston.org) in September 2005 as a tribute to the legendary lawyer, mentor, and teacher of such great civil rights lawyers as Thurgood Marshall and Oliver Hill. The Institute has engaged in a wide range of important educational, legal, and policy issues over the last ten years.

Ogletree is the author of several important books on race and justice, with his most recent publication (coedited with Austin Sarat) being Life Without Parole: America's New Death Penalty? (New York University Press, 2012). His other publications include The Presumption of Guilt: The Arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Race, Class, and Crime in America (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), The Road to Abolition: The Future of Capital Punishment in the United States (coedited with Austin Sarat, New York University Press, 2009), and his historical memoir All Deliberate Speed: Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v. Board of Education (W. W. Norton, 2004).

He has received numerous awards. In 2009 he was awarded the prestigious American Bar Association Spirit of Excellence Award in recognition of his many contributions to the legal profession, and in 2008 the National Law Journal named Ogletree one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America. In 2006 he also received the first Rosa Parks Civil Rights Award, given by the City of Boston; the Hugo A. Bedau Award given by the Massachusetts Anti-Death Penalty Coalition; and Morehouse College's Gandhi, King, Ikeda Community Builders Prize. He also received honorary degrees from Morehouse College in 2011 and from Amherst College in 2002.
