Dear Race and the Law Profs Blog Readers,

We are pleased to announce an online symposium on Professor Randall Kennedy's provocative and thoughtful essay in Harper's Magazine entitled "Lifting as We Climb: A Progressive Defense of Respectability Politics." 

For the next 10 days, we will post responses to Professor Kennedy's essay submitted by law professors from around the country, including the editors of the Race and the Law blog. 

We also encourage our readers to submit your responses (less than 500 words) to saziz@law.tamu.edu, or in the alternative, post your thoughts in the comments section of the blog.

We look forward to a lively and engaging debate!

Race and the Law Profs Blog Editors
