Mission

Its mission is to help renew the civil rights movement by:

• Bridging the worlds of ideas and action
• Becoming a preeminent source of intellectual capital and
• Becoming a forum for building consensus within that movement.

Founders

It was founded by Christopher Edley, Jr. (formerly of Harvard Law School, now Dean of Boalt Hall Law School at UC Berkeley) and Gary Orfield (formerly of Harvard Graduate School of Education, now Professor of Education at UCLA's Graduate School of Education and Information Studies) in 1996 to provide needed intellectual capital to academics, policy makers and civil rights advocates.
