When you think of the Civil Rights Movement, who comes to mind? Martin Luther King, Jr.? Rosa Parks? Fannie Lou Hamer? Why not James Forten, DavidWalker, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, Harriet and Dred Scott, and Sallie J. Robinson? And what exactly are civil rights, anyway? We usually associate “the” Civil Rights Movement with the 1950s and ‘60s. But histor- ians now argue that the first Civil Rights Movement coincided with the nation’s founding. Indeed, early Black activists gave legal and cultural meaning to civil rights – which were not constitutionalized until the end of the Civil War. Analyzes the court cases and literature through which Black activists not only fought for, but defined, civil rights in the U.S.

Lots of reading, impossible to review for tests, interesting content if you are into that kind of thing, overhated professor but still difficult to understand

I honestly am livid that i got a B+ in the class because the class was easy; readings are dense and making yourself a study guide is important, but it's not hard. I got A's on both tests but failed the essay for despite following my TAs advice. DeLombard can be super condescending and I honestly struggled to stay awake. beware your TA

Very condescending teaching style. Didn't give much info about how the tests would be formatted so you were walking in blind. You're gonna need study sessions to figure out what the readings even meant. She uses old texts that have difficult language, I could never get through a whole reading because of how dense and hard to understand they were.

Intro to Legal humanities was a very unenjoyable class as it focused on very outdated philosophy of law. A few of the guest lectures were interesting however the subject matter of her lectures were uninspiring. My attempts to contact the professor were almost completely ignored and ultimately, the personal contact with her was disheartening.

Lots of dense and long readings, which you will need to know for test. Lectures and section aren't mandatory but highly recommended you go as you get a lot of clarifications. TA's were sometimes lost as well but if you study her slides you can pass the tests. It can get confusing but try not to overthink it and readings do get easier.

super cool chick she's a great person but was not born for teaching. gave us tests on insane amounts of reading, had no study guides, gave us no notice before tests. the TAs didn't know how to help us either. she literally ruined my idea of law and english classes altogether. she seriously needs to quit this job and work retail or something.
