Professor Guinier was the first woman of color to be tenured at Harvard Law School, the recipient of numerous awards—including ten honorary degrees, and the author of dozens of articles and books. She dedicated her life to the cause of justice and consistently challenged us all to be more rigorous critical thinkers, empathetic advocates for change, and engaged community members. Through her mentorship and groundbreaking research, she helped to develop new generations of advocates, attorneys, and activists dedicated to creating a more equitable and just world.
Through this loss, we acknowledge the pathbreaking legacy of Professor Guinier exemplified by her fortitude, intellect, and diligence. We offer our sincerest gratitude for all she gave and dedicate ourselves to honor her through our continued commitment to the causes of justice and equity.
