From the seminal work of Thurgood
Marshall in Brown v. Board of Education to North Carolina’s
landmark school busing decision in Swann v. Mecklenburg County
Board of Education, the courts provided some measure of justice
and redress in the continuing struggle for equality of opportunity
in America. This installation will highlight Supreme Court action
that buttressed the efforts of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and
other organizations to support the people’s movement with
a legal foundation. In the pitched battles against state’s
rights proponents, civil rights activists found the results afforded
through litigation to be a port in the face of violence and threat.
