In American history, students are taught about the three
branches of government. Most of the time is spent learning about
the Executive and the Legislative bodies, but the Judicial branch
has had a monumental effect on the course of American history, and
nowhere is this more apparent than in the area of civil rights.
Race and National Power: A Sourcebook of Black Civil Rights from
1862 to 1954 gathers together a collection of primary documents on
the history of law and civil rights, specifically in regard to
race. The sources covered include key Supreme Court decisions, some
opinions from other courts as well, and texts written by ordinary
people ? the victims and perpetrators of racism and the lawmakers
who wrote the statutes the courts must interpret.
With helpful headnotes and introductions, Race and National
Power: A Sourcebook of Black Civil Rights from 1862 to 1954 is the
perfect resource for anyone studying legal history or race in
America.
