"Part of the reason Lum v. Rice isn’t better known is that the Lum family
lost, Berard says, but their place in history may also be affected by the
fact that the family wasn’t fully on the side of civil rights for all. They
, like their lawyer, make flawed heroes.
“You want to stand behind the family in one way, because they are making a
decision for their children,” says Berard, who interviewed descendants of
the Lums for her book. “But at the same time they are clearly making a
racist decision. Whether it’s part of what was considered normal at the
time or not, I don’t think you can let them off the hook for that very
obvious fact that they did not want their daughters going to school with
black children.”" |
