Majoritarian Justices -- The Great Debate -- The Imperial Judiciary -- Notes -- Index
Since the founding of the United States, small groups of concerned citizens have been instrumental in moving America forward. Boomers to Millennials: Moving America Forward is a call-to-action for a new, younger generation to take up the mantle of leadership; socially, politically, and economically. At a time of dire challenges to American Democracy, passing the torch will not be easy and will require an active, engaged group of young citizens determined to make their mark on society. Co-authored by a father-son Boomer-Millennial duo, this timely book addresses 21st Century issues currently under debate while providing illuminating historical context. In the process, it discusses such important topics as immigration reform, climate change, LGBTQ rights, eliminating discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation or gender, and political activism. At a time when America is at a crossroads, Rubin and Rubin argue that, although America has recently experienced tough times, moving forward a new generation is ready to step up to the challenge of positively shaping American values and providing a better future for all.

Examines why school desegregation, despite its success in closing the achievement gap, was never embraced wholeheartedly in the black community as a remedy for racial inequality In 2007, a court case originally filed in Louisville, Kentucky, was argued before the Supreme Court and officially ended the era of school desegregation— both changing how schools across America handle race and undermining the most important civil rights cases of the last century. Of course, this wasn’t the first federal lawsuit to challenge school desegregation. But it was the first—and only—one brought by African Americans. In Divided We Fail, journalist Sarah Garland deftly and sensitively tells the stories of the families and individuals who fought for and against desegregation. By reframing how we commonly understand race, education, and the history of desegregation, this timely and deeply relevant book will be an important contribution to the continued struggle toward true racial equality.
