Product Information
From the days of slavery when African Americans were treated as property with no legal rights, to the present day when racist crimes are severely punished, African Americans have traveled a long road in the United States legal system. Author Carole Boston Weatherford traces that journey, highlighting the efforts of brave people who stood up to fight the battle against racism in court and in Congress. From the Amistad case to Brown v. Board of Education, Weatherford shows how the status of African Americans has gone through extraordinary changes.Product Identifiers

ReviewsThis series book for middle school students looks at the African-American struggle for civil rights through laws and legal event. The book begins with the Amistad as a watershed event that buoyed the efforts of the abolitionist movement. Also receiving prominent attention are the Dred Scott case; the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments; Jim Crow laws and Plessy v. Ferguson; and the various cases adopted by the NAACP beginning with the Scottsboro case of the 1930s. Weatherford profiles the African-American activists and lawyers who played significant roles in ending violence against African Americans and expanding freedom, among them Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Charles Hamilton Houston, and Thurgood Marshall. The book features a chronology, chapter notes, a bibliography for young readers, a list of web sites, and an index., MultiCultural Review March 2001
