From working alongside Thurgood Marshall as a key architect of the legal strategy of Brown v. Board of Education through his leadership of LDF as its second President and Director-Counsel for more than two decades, his exceptional advocacy before the Supreme Court, and his pioneering work in poverty and employment law, Jack Greenberg was a person who lived and breathed the highest ideals of equal justice under law. This gathering will be equal parts a public discussion and a reflection on Jack’s legacy.
