REMEMBERING JACK GREENBERG.

But note that despite his seminal role in the Brown case next to Thurgood Marshall and Charles Black, he still faced student protests because he was white: “A painful episode for Mr. Greenberg came in 1982, at Harvard Law School, when the Harvard Black Law Students Association and others objected to his teaching a civil rights course jointly, on a visiting basis, with Julius L. Chambers, a black lawyer and educator. The group called on students to boycott the course, which had previously been taught by Derrick Bell. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Greenberg taught the course anyway, and many prominent blacks came to Mr. Greenberg’s defense.” Students can be dumb.
