The Union Chapel Education & Cultural Institute (UCECI) has named its public forum series after Charles Ogletree, a noted professor, constitutional scholar, activist, author, and Island favorite. Charles’s early practice took him to the District of Columbia public defender’s office. He would later represent many notable figures but gained national prominence when he represented Anita Hill as she testified in the Senate hearings against the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. He appeared on many television shows such as Nightline, This Week with David Brinkley, the MacNeil/Lehrer Report, and many more.
