Unite America’s Post

Building from a first term riddled with policies that violated human rights, the incoming Trump administration has proposed a dangerous path for the future. Some of the policies championed by President Trump and his surrogates during the campaign could also give new purchase to white supremacy in America– a fact that is especially disturbing given the coincidence of this inauguration and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Human rights always apply to everyone, everywhere. They are not to be invoked or ignored depending on whether they further political interests. Many human rights protections are built into US law, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. International human rights law also binds the United States in the same way it does every other country. We join Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International USA, The Legal Defense Fund, Detention Watch Network, Human Rights First, National Immigration Law Center, and Southern Poverty Law Center in calling on the US government to ensure that all human and civil rights are respected and fully realized.

Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring vision of equality and justice for all. At BLB&G, we honor his legacy by highlighting the historic Roberts v.

In this newly published retrospective, we detail how BLB&G Founding Partner Max Berger and the BLB&G team fought tirelessly to secure the largest race discrimination settlement in U.S. history, driving real change both within Texaco and across the corporate landscape. From championing crucial corporate governance reforms to fostering future civil rights advocates, our story in Roberts v. Texaco stands as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through an unwavering commitment to equality and justice.
