Matambanadzo (she/her/hers preferred - also happy with they/them/theirs or fae/faer/faers) Associate Professor of Law Tulane University Law School http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsfaculty/profiles.aspx?id=13994&ekmensel=c580fa7... http://ssrn.com/author=680271 "America must get to work. In the chilled climate in which we live, we must go against the prevailing winds. We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred, and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that buried its head in the sand waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education, or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and timeless absence of moral leadership. We must dissent, because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better." --- Justice Thurgood Marshall
