The great Dallas Federal Judge Barefoot Sanders passed away earlier this week. My earliest memories of him was growing up, and hearing his name in the local news. I didn't know what they were talking about, but I just loved that name: Judge Barefoot Sanders. It was until much later that I learned the stories were about the case that would define his career: the desegregation of the Dallas school district. A case which he over saw for years.
After reading his biography he is one of those people who did so much good that I think he rose above normal political crap. Even though he was a Democrat.
If you have some time I would highly recommend reading this article about him. It gives great details on his political and judicial career both locally and on the national scene.
