In Honor of Chief Justice Gants: Eradicating Racial Disparities in the Criminal Justice System

The late Chief Justice Gants was deeply concerned about the great disparity in the rates of imprisonment among Whites, African-Americans and Latinos in Massachusetts and sought to root out the inequities in the system that led to these disparate rates. On October 29 Professor Dehlia Umunna engaged in a conversation in his honor about the critical next steps in eradicating racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Panelists included Judge Jay Blitzman (Ret.), Judge Nancy Gertner (Ret.), and Rev. Rashaan Hall from the ACLU of Massachusetts.
