Wow, John. Wish I'd known you'd covered the Brown case when it originated in 1992. Meeting Jennifer was such a thrill for me, and as you can imagine our experiences provided an instant sense that we'd known each other in our earlier lives. Hoping she and I can settle on a date and time for us to do an event together. I am already imagining some of the stories she and I will tell. All best, Melissa

And if you think I remember all of those names – there are 17 in total – well, I don't. BUT I can get you the notes of the speaker, Bill Nowlin, whose class at Lesley I taught several years ago. He is a neighbor in Cambridge and I'd be happy to ask him for his written notes, if you'd like them. Quite interesting talk he gave.

Great historical stuff here--with the appropriate update. Crazy, but I covered the Congressional hearing of the Brown athletes' Title IX complaint in 1992. Learned a lot, as I did with this piece.
