This remarkable, hard-to-find resource is an exhaustive compilation
of state laws and local ordinances in effect in 1950 that mandated
racial segregation and of pre-Brown-era civil rights legislation.
The volume cites legislation from forty-eight states and the
District of Columbia, and ordinances of twenty-four major cities
across the country. The complete text of each law or ordinance is
included, along with occasional notes about its history and the
extent to which it was enforced. Other relevant information found
in the volume ranges widely: the texts of various Supreme Court
rulings; international documents; federal government executive
orders, departmental rules, regulations, and directives;
legislation related to aliens and Native Americans; and more. In
his introduction Davison M. Douglas comments on the legislation
compiled in the book and its relevance to scholars today and also
provides biographical background on Pauli Murray, the attorney who
was the volume's original editor.
