Civil rights

0.0 (0)

It is now more than three decades since the historic Supreme Court decision on desegregation, Brown v. Board of Education. Thomas Sowell takes a tough, factual look at what has actually happened over these decades -- as distinguished from the hopes with which they began or the rhetoric with which they continue, Who has gained and who has lost? Which of the assumptions behind the civil rights revolution have stood the test of time and which have proven to be mistaken or even catastrophic to those who were supposed to be helped?

The barbarous decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring the Civil Rights Act unconstitutional and disrobing the Colored race of all civil protection

0.0 (0)

Turner criticizes the Supreme Court's decision to declare the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional. He reports the events leading up to this landmark Supreme Court decision and includes the text of the Civil Rights Act, approved by Congress on 1 March 1875. This text includes the October 1883 ruling, the majority opinion written by Associate Justice Joseph P. Bradley and the dissenting opinion by Associate Justice John M. Harlan. He concludes his pamphlet with a report from the Daily Republican of Washington, D.C. which featured speeches by Frederick Douglass and Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, a well-known lawyer and orator of the day.
