Derrrick Bell: Tributes From Colleagues, Students and Friends

Derrrick Bell: Tributes From Colleagues, Students and Friends:

The Department of Justice wanted him to pledge loyalty to the DOJ at the expense of his public loyalty to the community from which he had emerged. The DOJ demanded that he resign his membership in the NAACP. Derrick would have none of it.
