Turgeon, Carolyn. 2006. “Working Together: How a Neighborhood Justice Center in Harlem is Building Bridges and Improving Safety.” New York: Center for Court Innovation (public/private partnership with the NY State Unified Court System).
The Harlem Courthouse has towered over East 121st Street since the late 1800s – stately and elaborate, with arched windows and soaring pinnacles. Until 1961, the courthouse housed the Municipal and Magistrate’s Courts; after New York City’s courts were centralized, the building fell into disuse and was largely forgotten. Decades later, when court planners were looking for a location for a new community court, the courthouse – with its ornate architecture and status as a once vital community institution – seemed an ideal location. Today, the Harlem Courthouse is again a vibrant neighborhood resource. Gone are the boarded up windows, empty courtrooms, and unused office space. Instead, the courthouse is home to an unusual experiment in neighborhood justice, the Harlem Community Justice Center. The center features a multi-jurisdictional courtroom that hears a mix of Family and Housing Court cases, along with an array of unconventional programs – including mediation, community service, and reentry initiatives – that extend the Justice Center’s reach well beyond the courtroom doors. While a traditional court usually has one heartbeat, as the center’s former director Raye Barbieri puts it, the Harlem court ‘has dozens’. This paper tells the story of this unique experiment in community justice, from planning to ongoing operations. Along the way, it highlights the key lessons of the Harlem experience, offering vivid testimony that a court and community can work together to spur neighborhood renewal.

“Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America” by Daniel R. Biddle and Dubin Murray, 2010

To read online: Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America
“Octavius Valentine Catto was an orator who shared stages with Frederick Douglass, a second baseman on Philadelphia’s best black baseball team, a teacher at the city’s finest black school and an activist who fought in the state capital and on the streets for equal rights. With his racially-charged murder, the nation lost a civil rights pioneer–one who risked his life a century before Selma and Birmingham. In Tasting Freedom Murray Dubin and Pulitzer Prize winner Dan Biddle painstakingly chronicle the life of this charismatic black leader–a “free” black whose freedom was in name only. Born in the American south, where slavery permeated everyday life, he moved north where he joined the fight to be truly free–free to vote, go to school, ride on streetcars, play baseball and even participate in July 4th celebrations. Catto electrified a biracial audience in 1864 when he proclaimed, “There must come a change,” calling on free men and women to act and educate the newly freed slaves. With a group of other African Americans who called themselves a “band of brothers,” they challenged one injustice after another. Tasting Freedom presents the little-known stories of Catto and the men and women who struggled to change America.”

“New Terrain in Youth Development: The Promise of a Social Justice Approach” by Ginwright and Cammarota, 2002
July 31, 2019 5:46 pm / Justice eReader Editorial Board
To read online: New Terrain in Youth Development: The Promise of a Social Justice Approach
“Popular notions of urban youth have led the public to believe that young people create more problems than possibilities. This idea is most evident in public policy that tends to view them as delinquents, criminals, and the cause of general civic problems. For example, in California, the passage of the Juvenile Justice Crime Bill, which allows courts to try juveniles as adults, and other similar measures across the nation demonstrate how public policy reflects a fear of urban youth.”

“The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America” by Jonathan Kozol, 2005
July 31, 2019 4:25 pm / Justice eReader Editorial Board
To read online: “The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America”. The recommended text is from Chapter 2: “Hitting them Hardest when they are Small”. Open book and go to Chapter 2 in the Table of Contents.
“This is a book about betrayal of the young, who have no power to defend themselves. It is not intended to make readers comfortable.” Visiting nearly 60 public schools, Kozol finds that conditions have grown worse for inner-city children in the 15 years since federal courts began dismantling the landmark 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. First, the segregation of black children is at a level not seen since 1968. Few of these students know any white children. Second, discipline modeled on methods traditionally used in prisons is targeted at black and Hispanic children. And third, liberal education in our inner-city schools has been increasingly replaced by culturally barren and robotic methods of instruction. Kozol pays tribute to those undefeated educators who persist against the odds, and offers a humane, dramatic challenge to our nation to fulfill at last the promise made some 50 years ago to all our youngest citizens.
