A California courthouse has been named for a native son who went on to a distinguished career at Harvard Law School, where he taught future President Barack Obama and his wife
FILE - Professor Charles J. Ogletree Jr. accepts the chairman's award at the 48th annual NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Feb. 11, 2017, in Pasadena, Calif. A California courthouse has been named for a native son who went on to a distinguished career at Harvard Law School, where he taught President Barack Obama and his wife. The Merced County courthouse was named Friday, Feb. 17, 2023, for Ogletree Jr. to honor for his contributions to law, education and civil rights.
The legal scholar, who retired from Harvard in 2020 after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, did not attend. But a brother and sister were among dozens of people, including judges and notable community members. Richard Ogletree said if his brother had been present for the ceremony, he would expect him to say what he has heard him say in previous speeches and presentations: “I stand on the shoulders of others.”
