Martha Minow: Justice for All

Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow is regarded internationally as a leading voice for justice, an advocate for human rights, and a champion for educational opportunities for students across the nation. President Obama has cited her as an inspiration for his decision to pursue public service. Hear from one of our greatest legal minds about a career that stretches from her clerkship with Thurgood Marshall to the halls of Congress, and from New Trier High School to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Joining her in conversation will be her father, Newton Minow, a distinguished Chicago attorney, civic leader, and former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

This program is presented in partnership with Facing History and Ourselves.
