2018., Adolescent, Scholastic Focus Call No: HI-INT 976.3 GOL Edition: First edition. Availability:2 of 2 At Location(s) Summary Note: On Easter Sunday of 1873, a band of white supremacists marched into Grant Parish, Louisiana, and massacred over one hundred unarmed African Americans. The court case that followed would reach the highest court in the land. Yet not a single person was convicted. The opinion issued by the Supreme Court in US v. Cruikshank set in motion a process that would help create a society in which black Americans were oppressed and denied basic human rights. These injustices would last for the next hundred years, and many continue to exist to this day. In this compelling and thoroughly researched volume for young readers, Lawrence Goldstone traces the evolution of the law in the story of how the Supreme Court helped institutionalize racism in the American justice system.
