Matching Quote
"It is time that we start thinking about foundational issues: about our attitudes toward fair trials... Who are the People in a
multicultural
society?... The victims of discrimination are now organized. Blacks, Jews, gays, women—they will no longer tolerate second-class status. They seek vindication for past grievances in the trials that take place today, the new political trial."
