This is an excellent and necessary piece. However let me add another dimension.Those us who are civil rights attys have had our knowledge of this minimized for years. esquire.com/news-politics/…
I remember being admonished by one influencer that “to a hammer everything’s a nail.” Media figures would roll their eyes & political figures would remind us that we had a Black President & Black AG as evidence that our warnings were overblown.

IMPORTANT: "Between 2005 and 2009...2/3 of median household wealth [in communities of color] was wiped out" by the foreclosure crisis. On Mon. SCOTUS will hear argument in a case that could result in an increase in foreclosures w/devastating effect on African American homeowners.
In Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus, SCOTUS will decide whether the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) covers nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings. These proceedings (w/o a court or judge) result in foreclosure more often than court proceedings.
READ our amicus brief to learn why the ruling in this case may affect hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings & why African American homeowners will be disproportionately affected. @NAACP_LDF supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/17/1…

I took this photo in Selma during the Bridge Crossing weekend in March. The hands you see are those of Mrs. Juanita Abernathy (widow of Rev. Ralph) and ⁦@RevJJackson⁩. The love w/which they greeted each other in Brown’s Chapel Church was so genuine and moving. #2018
Looking up to see the Lynching memorial at the @MemPeaceJustice in the distance was breathtaking. I will never forget that moment. April #2018
An hour in the @NPG to see up close @kehindewiley & #AmySherald’s portraits of President & Mrs. Obama. These moments were so restoring for me this year. Just go on your lunch hour. It’s never crowded and it’s free.#2018Wrapped

2018 was a tough year for civ rts & justice. I’m proud of how civil rights lawyers & activists fought & often won. The year was also marked by extraordinary, wonderful & uplifting experiences that strengthened me for the battles ahead. I’m grateful for each of those experiences.
A surprise party last Jan. to commemorate my 5th anniversary as Director-Counsel at @NAACP_LDF attended by the two living former D-Cs, my mentors Elaine Jones and Ted Shaw. My girl @JNelsonLDF set me up masterfully. I was clueless right up to the moment. It was lovely.
Had a moment with the great one - Justice Bader Ginsburg - at @ConstitutionCtr where we first met 25 years ago. Also good to see my friend Marcia Greenberger.

esquire.com/news-politics/… I maintain that Giuliani, while a miserable excuse for a human being, isn’t stupid. He knows that, as long as Congress protects Trump, it doesn’t matter what crimes Trump commits. So his only goal is maintaining that support.
So while his antics would make his case fall apart in a court of law, they may well succeed at doing what they’re intended to do: Muddy the waters enough to give GOP voters reasons to tell themselves it’s possible Trump is innocent, if only because they can’t follow the story.
I’m no legal expert, but some defense attorneys do this. (See O.J. Simpson case.) They throw up noise and confusion, so that jurors give up trying to understand the evidence and instead convict or not based on what they want to believe. Giuliani is doing the same thing.
