Product Details
The duo of Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall together “faced down angry southern mobs, negotiated with presidents and senators, and convinced even the most racist judges and juries that the Constitution demanded equal justice under the law for all Americans. Case by case, precedent by precedent, they undermined the legal foundations of Jim Crow.” (from the dust jacket)
The book chronicles the two men’s efforts to bring about the historical Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that was a “milestone victory of the civil rights movement.”
Eighteen chapters chronicle this historical event. The book also contains a black and white photo gallery.
