On a side note, thank you for teaching this semester at the College of Law, I thought it was very valuable experience. Taking your class made me aware of many issues about race that I had not thought about before. I hope you enjoyed teaching the class as much as I did learning from it, and I think the law school would be thrilled to have you teach again! Stay in touch.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for class this semester. Race and American Law has been a favorite and certainly the most important course I have taken in my academic career. I came into the semester feeling unsure about what I wanted to do with my career as an attorney. I have been teetering for a long time between my passions for criminal defense and civil rights, and areas of law that are supposed to be more lucrative, such as estate planning. The discussions and readings throughout the semester reminded me of why I came to law school in the first place; to use my privilege, advantages, and skills to serve those who have never had such advantages. The opportunity to learn, discuss, and build a greater understanding of the topics we covered in class was truly a gift. It has allowed me to build a scaffold under which I can continue to learn and collect more information, and I know I will be a better attorney for it.

I want to say thank you for an amazing semester. I enjoyed every single class. You were so open to all of our perspectives and helped us challenge every thought we have and how it might impact those around us. I hope you get the opportunity to teach similar classes in the future because I would definitely take them.

I would like to thank Professor RaShya (Cunningham) Ghee for teaching this paradigm shattering course. Having the opportunity to engage with both topical and historic material regarding Race and American Law has been one of the most meaningful law school experiences. Truly safe spaces to discuss America’s problematic sociohistorical and legal relationship with race are hard to find. Professor Ghee, however, has cultivated such a space in her classroom by facilitating challenging discussions while maintaining the need to substantiate arguments under a legal framework. Having the ability to relate legal theory, case law, and statutory/textual analysis to the current social and political zeitgeist, Professor Ghee has found a way to simultaneously personalize and generalize, perspectives that often run afoul one another.
