MERCED -- A courthouse in California's Central Valley was named for a native son who went from working in the fields to a distinguished career at Harvard Law School, where he taught Barack and Michelle Obama.
Professor Charles J. Ogletree Jr. accepts an award at the 48th annual NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium Feb. 11, 2017. Ogletree, 70, represented Anita Hill when she accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during his U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 1991, and he defended the late rapper Tupac Shakur in criminal and civil cases.
Ogletree has spoken of his humble roots, where he grew up in poverty on the south side of the railroad tracks in Merced in an area of Black and Brown families. His parents were seasonal farm laborers and he picked peaches, almonds and cotton in the summer. He went to college at Stanford University and then Harvard Law School.
