What did Sumner do to deserve the acclaim? Well, he collaborated with 26 year old Black lawyer Robert Morris on the first interracial legal team in American history. They tried to integrated Boston schools at the Mass Supreme Court.

Trans kids suffer when they don't get medically-necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court.
