Redeeming the Dream: Proposition 8 and the Struggle for Marriage Equality

By David Boies and Theodore B. Olson

Book Overview

"Breathtakingly inspiring." -Laurence H. Tribe, Professor of Constitutional Law, Harvard Law School When advocates for marriage equality sought to challenge California's notorious Proposition 8, they were fortunate to have the support of two of the nation's preeminent lawyers, David Boies and Theodore B. Olson. Despite the fact that they had argued against one another in the landmark Bush v. Gore case, their commitment to the marriage issue led them to join forces, ultimately defeating the unconstitutional proposition in the Supreme Court after a nearly five-year battle. Redeeming the Dream is the definitive inside account of the key civil rights struggle of our time.
