The Naacp In The Twenty-First Century, Dianne M. Pinderhughes
The Naacp In The Twenty-First Century, Dianne M. Pinderhughes
Trotter Review
“The leadership was overly concerned with recognition from whites, a concern that helped prevent the organization from taking a confrontational stance. The program overly oriented to a middle-class agenda and not nearly strong enough to the kinds of economic issues that mean most to workingclass black people. [And] the organization [was] too centralized.”
These views of the problems of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are not those of a present-day critic, reflecting on the Association’s recent woes. They were formed by Ella Baker during her years as the NAACP’s assistant field secretary in 1941 and as …
Do Not (Re)Enter: The Rise Of Criminal Background Tenant Screening As A Violation Of The Fair Housing Act, Rebecca Oyama
Do Not (Re)Enter: The Rise Of Criminal Background Tenant Screening As A Violation Of The Fair Housing Act, Rebecca Oyama
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Increased landlord discrimination against housing applicants with criminal histories has made locating housing in the private market more challenging than ever for individuals with criminal records. Specifically, the increased use of widely available background information in the application process by private housing providers and high error rates in criminal record databases pose particularly difficult obstacles to securing housing. Furthermore, criminal record screening policies disproportionately affect people of color due to high incarceration rates and housing discrimination. This Note examines whether the policies and practices of private housing providers that reject applicants because of their prior criminal records have an unlawful, …

Substantial Equivalency And The Future Of Fair Housing In Ohio, Symposium: New Strategies In Fair Housing, G. Michael Payton, Matthew D. Miko
Cleveland State Law Review
This article reviews recent Ohio court decisions and discusses their potential impact on the continued certification of the state's fair housing law as “substantially equivalent.” It also addresses several responsive steps being taken by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission in order to re-establish the rights and responsibilities under the state's fair housing law.
Toward A Plain Meaning Approach To Analyzing Title Vii: Employment Discrimination Protection Of Transsexuals, Kevin Schwin
Toward A Plain Meaning Approach To Analyzing Title Vii: Employment Discrimination Protection Of Transsexuals, Kevin Schwin
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this Article is two-fold. First, this Article will discuss whether transsexuals should be protected at all from employment discrimination, and if so, whether protection should be accomplished through legislative or judicial means. Then, the Article will discuss each of the aforementioned approaches and advocate for a logical and consistent manner in which courts should decide cases under Title VII where a transsexual plaintiff alleges discrimination because of sex.
Getting Real About Race And Prisoner Rights, Michael B. Mushlin, Naomi Roslyn Galtz
Getting Real About Race And Prisoner Rights, Michael B. Mushlin, Naomi Roslyn Galtz
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article explores the connection between the dramatic increases in the incarceration of non-whites and the parallel decline in the legal protections for prisoners over the same period. Using the social sciences, the Article suggests that racial tensions play a role in the decisions made by both guards and prison administrators. Further, the authors argue that the communities of these non-white prisoners are the least well equipped to advocate for their well-being. Ultimately, the Article concludes that the law is not currently equipped to confront the possibility of dealing with race-based tensions and structural inequities that are present in the …
Out With The New, In With The Old: The Importance Of Section 504 Of The Rehabilitation Act To Prisoners With Disabilities, Betsy Ginsberg
Out With The New, In With The Old: The Importance Of Section 504 Of The Rehabilitation Act To Prisoners With Disabilities, Betsy Ginsberg
Fordham Urban Law Journal
People with disabilities are all too well represented in America’s prisons and are frequently not provided with the accommodations necessary to ensure their full participation in prison life. The Supreme Court’s 1997 pronouncement that Title II of the ADA applies to their claims of failure to accommodate and disability-based discrimination has been making its way through the prison grapevine (and hopefully the prison law libraries) over the last dozen years, inspiring prisoners, their advocates and the federal government to use this broad civil rights statute to enforce these rights. Their efforts have been thwarted to some extent by the states’ …
