Justice in Race Relations: A Perspective

1988

Dr. Ellis speaks first of the injustices towards the Native Americans; especially the “misguided congressional paternalism” which deprived many tribes of self-determination. She then turns to the Civil Rights struggle of American blacks. Ellis explains what “Juneteenth Day” means and how it came to be. “It is not the justice of the law” that will change the situation for American blacks, “it is the justice of the person, the justice of the heart.”
