On MSNBC last night, Harvard Professor Derrick Bell’s widow, Janet Dewart Bell denounced the “drum beat of negativity” from the right suggesting her husband was a racist.
When asked by host Ed Schultz if she thought her husband was a racist, she responded, “I think the number of students of his were white at whose weddings he officiated, because they asked him to, he is beloved by all his students, all races, and just all backgrounds. . I think they would be very surprised to even think that would be the case in any way.”
