We managed by keeping blinders on and by doing it all: We were all married, had a child during grad school, managed a household, and worked hard. Joan got a Phd with Hillary Putnam, and became a dean a UMass. Julie went on to Boalt, headed the Law Review and became judge in Alameda Superior Court.

My law school favored the C.
They desperately wanted to be mentioned next to UVa, Michigan and Boalt.

Yes, I remember the then Boalt Hall School of Law at UC Berkeley going from 40% minority admissions to less than 3% in the first year after in the early 1990's it embraced the sunsetting of US Affirmative Action. Restore all social justice programs NOW. How? We will have to nonviolently rise.
