Professor Bell was my constitutional law prof at Harvard in 1990. He was a fascinating, highly articulate, entertaining, kind, respectful, warm, patient and humble man. He is one of the few professors I remember very well.
I hope his passing was peaceful and while the world is less one great human being, heaven is weathier for it.

I remember sharing some special moments at one of the many social gatherings the Bells would host at their home in Cambridge. We have a lost a true humanitarian, a brilliant scholar whose depth and commitment to social justice will be missed. We ask the Ancestors to bless us with brilliants minds to fill the void.

It is with great sadness that I extend my condolences to the entire Bell family for the loss of a great father, husband, author, humanitarian, and scholar. I will never forget the kindnesses and friendship Mr. Bell and his family afforded me and will forever cherish those many memories. May God bless and keep you adorned in the light of love and peace during this time and always thereafter.

Our own support group here is growing and we hope he had the kind of "family" we have found in each other,knowing we are not (as we were told in the beginning)...

Dear Bell Family,
I have struggled mightily over the past week to find words to express my sorrow at your loss, and ours.
I met Derrick the week he began his service as Dean at the University of Oregon School of Law. Derrick hired me as his Research Assistant--a job that mostly involved cite-checking each foot note in the Second Edition of "Race, Racism, and American Law." He funded my continued employment, at least in part, with a grant from the National Endowment for the...
