Founded in 1988 by Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., one of the goals of the Saturday School Program is to give speakers an opportunity to present cutting edge, and often controversial, works in progress to a group of articulate, critical, and reflective law faculty, staff, students, and other representatives of the local community. This goal is accomplished through a series of informal lectures by individuals from diverse backgrounds and careers, such as law professors, judges, business leaders, artists, writers, law enforcements and other government officials.

Established in the fall of 2005 at Harvard Law School by Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice (CHHIRJ) seeks to honor the extraordinary contributions of one of the great lawyers of the twentieth century. Charles Hamilton Houston dedicated his life to using the law as a tool to reverse the unjust consequences of racial discrimination. CHHIRJ is committed to marshalling the resources of Harvard and beyond to continue his unfinished work.
