If I had to think of one idea I would associate with Lani, it is ‘meaningful participation.' Lani spent her career thinking about, and working for, the proposition that people, particularly those without power, should be able to participate meaningfully in the institutions that affected their lives.
Kenneth Mack quoted in a remembrance of Lani Guinier by Brett Milano at Harvard Law Today. In Memoriam: Lani Guinier 1950 – 2022
The first African-American woman to be tenured and a monumental presence at Harvard Law School, Guinier devoted her life to justice, equality, empowerment, and democracy
