Civil Rights Commission—Mary Frances Berry—”Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”

In 1980, Berry left the Department of Education, returning to Howard University as a professor of history and law. Carter appointed her to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission,[1] where during her tenure she became involved in legal battles with Carter’s successor, Ronald Reagan. When Reagan attempted to remove her from the board, she successfully went to court to keep her seat.

She continued to serve as chair of the Civil Rights Commission. In 1999, Berry persuaded the Clinton administration to appoint her editor at Alfred A. Knopf, Victoria Wilson, to the commission.[8] In 2001, she and the Democratic board members of the commission barred the seating of Peter Kirsanow,[9] who had been appointed by President George W. Bush to replace Wilson on the commission. Kirsanow sued, claiming Wilson’s tenure had expired and he had been validly appointed. Wilson won in federal district court but ultimately lost on appeal in 2002, and the court ordered the seating of Kirsanow. The dispute determined which political party would have a majority of the board’s members. Berry left office before the expiration of her term in late 2004 and was succeeded by Gerald A. Reynolds.
She joined Politico in 2010 as a regular contributor to The Arena
