I have filed an ethics complaint against @OuttenGolden, the law firm that I hired to represent me when @Columbia launched an unfounded & politicized investigation of me because I condemned violent attacks ag pro-Palestinian student protesters on our campus.
Law firms bear a duty of loyalty to their clients when they agree to represent them, yet @OuttenGolden “fired” me as a client bec some of its partners were uncomfortable with my support for @Columbia students who had been attacked for supporting Palestinian rights.

"There's a difference between being freed and being free... As soon as the institution of slavery was abolished, white legislators and white society implemented a range of measures that weren't slavery but came pretty darn close." wpr.org/changing-fight…#reparations 1/4
Black people were freed into a society that still hated them, still saw them as not fully human and inferior to white people. #reparations 2/4
