- The civil rights movement and affirmative action have, to a significant extent, ameliorated the injustice of African American exclusion from higher education and the legal profession.
- The U.S. Supreme Court benefits from the varied perspectives and experiences brought by justices of different races and backgrounds, and should not deny law schools and the legal profession a similar benefit.
