Yale Law Journal: Symposium - The Meaning of the Civil Rights Revolution (Volume 123, Number 8 - June 2014)

"Symposium: The Meaning of the Civil Rights Revolution" is, in effect, a new and extensive book of contemporary thought on civil rights. In February 2014, the Yale Law Journal held a symposium at Yale Law School marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the simultaneous publication of Bruce Ackerman's 'We the People: The Civil Rights Revolution' (2014). Contributors' essays reflected on the origins or status of the American civil rights project, using Ackerman's book as a focal point. Those essays are collected here as June 2014, the final issue of the academic year. The contents are:

* We the People: Each and Every One Randy E. Barnett
