Texas Loses Outstanding Judge


Yesterday, Texas lost a great liberal judge. 83 year-old U.S. District Judge Barefoot Sanders died at his home on Sunday. He was the senior judge of the Northern District of Texas.

Judge Sanders had served as Deputy Attorney General in the administration of Lyndon Johnson. He was appointed to the federal bench in 1979 by President Carter. He was probably best known for presiding over the desegregation of public schools in Dallas, Texas.

Rest in peace, Judge Sanders. You served your country well.
