Do not blame me. I was not there. I did not do it.
At the height of the civil rights movement in 1965, the great American writer James Baldwin penned an essay for Ebony magazine entitled &#8220;White Man&#8217;s Guilt.&#8221;
Baldwin&#8217;s words are rooted in the struggles of a time different from our own, but he offers timeless [...]]]></description>

Judge Sotomayor&#8217;s nomination will inevitably raise the usual issues of politics and legal philosophy, as well as questions about &#8220;identity politics.&#8221; The latter, of course, refers in this context to [...]]]></description>
