The Intersection of Black History and Case Law: Pivotal Legal Battles That Shaped Civil Rights
The fight for civil rights in the United States has been shaped by a long history of legal battles that challenged injustice and redefined the nation's laws. Kevin A. Landau, an attorney with a deep understanding of case law’s impact on social justice, explores how landmark decisions have paved the way for equality. From Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which denied citizenship to African Americans, to Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which dismantled segregation in schools, each case represents a pivotal moment in Black history. As Kevin A. Landau highlights, these rulings serve as both legal precedents and reminders of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in America.
