The article presents information on racist nationalism. Europe is cemented by a common language and culture, stands in pleasing contrast to what is going on in the Balkans, where scenes in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia evoke some of the nastiest chapters of racist nationalism in the twentieth century. The Slovenes themselves have made haste, amid celebrations of newfound nationhood, to declare an amnesty for collaborators with the Axis powers. A few hundred miles north the Slovakians are dusting off their own proud heritage. It's enough to make one yearn for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which did impose upon large portions of Middle Europe some kind of transnational respect for minorities, as did the Communists in the postwar period now concluded.

This article focuses on the prevalence of racism in South Africa during 1951. While South African Parliament was in session, the Dutch Reformed churches dogmatized that the right to vote was a privilege given by God and could be rightly exercised only by civilized Christians. The definition cut out all persons of African race and all colored persons. One law disfranchised the million-strong minority of mixed or colored race, though they have a considerable common ancestry with the white Afrikaners. A striking feature of the opposition to the colored-disfranchisement bill was a nation-wide outburst of demonstrations led by white veterans of the Second World War.

According to the author, the discrimination charge was filed by the union on behalf of 10 African Americans. The terms of the Executive Order 10557 are also discussed.

For decades, lawyers and legal scholars have disagreed over how much resource redistribution to expect from federal courts and Congress in satisfaction of the Fourteenth Amendment's promise of equal protection. Of particular importance to this debate and to the nation given its kaleidoscopic history of inequality, is the question of racial redistribution of resources. A key dimension of that question is whether to accept the Supreme Court's limitation of equal protection to public actors' disparate treatment of members of different races or instead demand constitutional remedies for the racially disparate impact of public action. For a substantial segment of the nation's population as well as its judiciary and legal culture, governmentally mandated redistribution, and particularly racial redistribution, of resources to remedy the disparate results of public action is anathema to our constitutional order-so much so that such redistribution may provoke violence that horribly magnifies inequality. Avoiding that prospect leads us to propose a new constitutional understanding of the relationship between disparate impact and treatment to serve as an alternative to racial redistribution-or, should our legal culture change sufficiently in reaction to current events, as a necessary supplement to redistribution. While acknowledging the need to mind the racial and other gaps that public action persistently creates and tolerates, our strategy calls upon public actors and oversight bodies to mine the gaps for dispositive evidence of disparate treatment. Compared with how federal courts and our legal culture currently understand disparate treatment, our approach is more honest about the existence and meaning of centuries of unrelenting racial disparities and more insistent on transparency about why disparities keep occurring and whether they are innocent. Yet, the proposal also is moderated by its continuing prioritization of disparate treatment over disparate impact per se; by the extent to which it remains constitutionally and culturally precedented; by its objective of reform but not necessarily outright racial redistribution; and by its effort to avoid rowing upstream against the nation's individualistic current or being swept by it over treacherous and violent falls. In offering this approach, we recognize the need constantly to calibrate the breadth of the concession being made to liberty over equality and community, in order to keep the voracious appetite of the nation's individualism from consuming all hope of equity and social solidarity among diverse populations.

This Article focuses on a three-year-old opinion from the Iowa Supreme Court, State v. Plain, and a trilogy of cases decided last year, what we have called the Lilly-Neal-Williams trilogy, insofar as those cases secure, affirm, and advance understanding of the constitutional right to an impartial jury as drawn from a fair cross-section of the community. In a larger sense, this Article is about the continuing efforts of the Iowa Supreme Court, especially over the last decade, to address racial disparities. protect civil rights, and improve the administration of justice. It is an understatement to say these efforts owe much to the leadership of Chief Justice Mark Cady before his most untimely death in November 2019. To these efforts, the late Chief Justice Cady brought the formidable array of his personal qualities. He was a scholar and student of the law who was well aware of and championed Iowa's rich history in regard to civil rights and the Iowa constitution's equality principle. He was, in our experience, without peer in his willingness to listen and understand, identify what needed to or could be done, and act. He was always the Chief and stood out, but his humility, camaraderie, humor, and profound decency unfailingly erased differences in position and deepened friendship. While the Chief did not author the court 's opinions in Plain or the Lilly- Veal - Williams trilogy, his roles as leader, bridge-builder, and consensus-maker are clearly evident in the years leading up to these decisions and afterward. He earnestly and visibly supported the Branstad Committee that led to reforms of the Iowa Code dealing with juries. Under his leadership, the court appointed and charged committees to continue that work; and the Iowa judicial branch successfully initiated efforts significantly and dramatically improving jury management practices and requiring training of the entire judicial branch to address implicit bias-training that was to be refreshed and renewed annually. As he wrote in the special concurring opinion in Plain, "Today 's decision identifies several ways for our justice system to improve. We should never stop looking for others." In the ensuing years, again under his leadership, the court continued and intensified efforts to improve, especially in regard to protections of the impartial jury right. For his leadership on addressing racial disparities, protecting civil rights, and improving the administration of justice in Iowa, we dedicate this Article to our late Chief Justice Mark Cady.
