Martha Stewart
Fran Boyd Andrews and Donnie Andrews
Using lessons that come not from a law book but from the television series “The Wire,” a celebrated portrayal of street gangs in inner-city Baltimore and the institutions that have failed its residents, Professor Charles Ogletree ’78 has established a new class with a curriculum that includes readings and discussions on drug policy, police practices and legal tactics. Ogletree supplemented the class with a speaker series featuring community activists and the show’s cast members and creators. Pictured above: Fran Boyd Andrews and Donnie Andrews, who served as real-life inspirations for characters on “The Wire.”
