Since the height of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, Harvard Law faculty and students have been pioneers in civil rights advocacy, scholarship, and teaching. Today, Harvard Law scholars and students are still leading the charge to end discrimination and secure every person’s equal rights under the law.
