Dallas, TX –
After 27 years on the federal bench, U.S. District Judge Barefoot Sanders retired in 2006. Sanders issued thousands of rulings, but he's perhaps best known for his work on a lawsuit filed in 1970 in which Sam Tasby, an African American, charged the Dallas school district led a dual system. It took more than 30 years to finally resolve the case. In the first of a two-part interview shortly before his retirement, Judge Sanders talked with KERA 90.1's Sam Baker about the Tasby case and how his work in school desegregation actually dates back to his days as a U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas during the Kennedy administration.
