With a four-year, $1 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Nebraska historians William Thomas, Jeannette Eileen Jones and Katrina Jagodinsky, with collaborators from the College of Law, will establish an academic program that enables undergraduate and graduate students to study how various marginalized groups in American history – enslaved people, racial minorities, women and Indigenous people, among others – used the law to contest and advance their rights.
