the Future of Change

Last night, PBS aired “Forever Prison,” which highlights the story of the early litigation to close the prison camp on Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, that housed HIV+ Haitian refugees in the early 1990s.   Brandt Goldstein’s “Storming the Court: How a Band of Law Students Fought the President and Won” tells the complete story.  If of interest, I’ve written about the team dynamics of the student/lawyer group here and written a short piece on what the lessons learned from this effort might mean for student activism today here.
