I was saddened to learn of her death.
Now I'm heartbroken to learn the cause.
Guinier died from complications of Alzheimer's disease at a care facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts on January 7, 2022, at the age of 71
Carol Lani Guinier (/ˈlɑːni ɡwɪˈnɪər/; April 19, 1950 – January 7, 2022) was an American educator, legal scholar, and civil rights theorist. She was the Bennett Boskey Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and the first woman of color appointed to a tenured professorship there.[1] Before coming to Harvard in 1998, Guinier taught at the University of Pennsylvania Law School for ten years. Her scholarship covered the professional responsibilities of public lawyers, the relationship between democracy and the law, the role of race and gender in the political process, college admissions, and affirmative action. In 1993 President Bill Clinton nominated Guinier to be United States Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, but withdrew the nomination in the face of right-wing backlash.
Do something positive.
