Law school on enrollment declines for blacks
Insightful article written by a student from Arizona State University on the alarming decline in black law student enrollment:
The lack of black professionals in our society should trouble everyone. It is not only a black problem. If we’re serious about an inclusive society, we must address the fact that our criminal “justice” system — so eager to throw young blacks in prison — has a disproportionately small amount of black lawyers. And we, as citizens who want to heal the wounds of generations of bigotry and exploitation, should care about the fact that the situation is not getting better quickly enough.
