I am very pleased to note that Mr. Jonas wrote the first drafts of his article at Georgetown Law in my seminar on the legal history of the New Deal.  His article illuminates a surprisingly understudied topic, the African American response to the Court Packing plan, which was complicated, in part by the pendency of an anti-lynching bill in Congress and in part by divisions between Black liberals and radicals.  He and I are both grateful to Laura Kalman for her reading of a draft.
