This episode looks at Sweatt v. Painter (1950) a desegregation case decided four years before Brown v. Board of Education. Here, the court looked at whether the University of Texas Law School's segregation policy denied Sweatt Equal Protection of the law under the 14th Amendment because it failed to provide an alternative law school for blacks that was qualitatively equal to UT's law school. This case was an important to step towards the elimination of the separate but equal doctrine established by Plessy v. Ferguson.

This week I look at the case of McCleskey v. Kemp (1987), a decision that's been called the Dred Scott case of our time. This case looks at racial disparities in the handing out of the death penalty. After defendant Warren McCleskey was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of white officer Frank Shlatt, his attorneys relied on a comprehensive study by Professor David Baldus, which analyzed potential racial disparities with respect to the death penalty in the state of Georgia. What the study found is that when a victim is white, a defendant is 4.3 times more likely to be sentenced to death than if the victim was of another race. McCleskey argued that such disparities ran afoul of the 8th Amendment and 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The court's ruling was a major setback for civil rights. Listen to find out why.

This week I look at Batson v. Kentucky (1986), which deals with preventing black people from serving on the jury. In this case, James K Batson was charged with two counts of burglary and receipt of stolen property. During his trial, the prosecutor, a white man, struck all the black people from the potential jury pool. Batson was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He appealed his case to the US Supreme Court arguing that the use of what's called a "peremptory challenge" to remove all the black people from the potential jury pool violated his 6th Amendment's right to a fair trial and the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. What emerged from this case is what's now known as the Batson Rule. Listen to find out what that is exactly and to discover the remarkable way this story ended.

This week's episode looks at Terry v. Ohio (1968), which deals with a current hot issue: "stop and frisk." In this case, John Terry, Richard Chilton, and Carl Katz were stopped and frisked by Det. Martin McFadden after he observed them behaving in a suspicious manner. During the frisk, McFadden discovered concealed weapons on both Terry and Chilton. Both men were charged with having a concealed and their attorney, former Congressman Louis Stokes, filed a motion to suppress the weapon. He argued that McFadden subjected Terry and Chilton to an unlawful search. The case made its way to the high court and the result continues to impact policing to the present day.

This week's episode looks at the Heart of Atlanta Motel v. U.S.(1964). Unlike previous cases discussed in this series, this one involves a white plaintiff, Moreton Rolleston Jr., who challenged the then newly enacted Civil Rights Act of 1964. Rolleston, a staunch segregationist and lawyer, who owned the Heart of Atlanta Motel and he refused to serve black people. After the Civil Rights Act was passed, he filed an injunction claiming the law was unconstitutional. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the court unanimously ruled against him. He continued his litigious ways, eventually suing media mogul Tyler Perry several times. Watch the video above to discover why and to learn more about the case.

This episode looks at Smith v. Allwright (1944) a case that challenged the use of white primaries to exclude black people from the voting process. This case was the fourth in a series of cases challenging such primaries in the state of Texas. The Supreme Court had to decide whether or not the Democratic Party's decision to exclude all non-white people from voting in their primaries violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Next week is election day, and if you haven't already, please go out and vote! To emphasize the importance of voting, this episode of the Untold Series takes a look back at the episodes highlighting the struggles Black people have faced in this country when trying to vote! From grandfather clauses to race riots, we've been struck down but not destroyed. For anyone who says our vote doesn't matter, please watch and reconsider! This series, The Untold Stories of the Civil Rights Movement, is where I look at some of the most important civil rights cases. I quickly unpack the stories and discuss why I believe they are significant. This series is an adaption of an ad hoc seminar I created while a student at Duke University School of Law. Resources: 1.

This episode looks at Gomillion v. Lightfoot (1960) a case that involved the gerrymandering of a district along racial lines. In the city of Tuskegee, the black population outnumbered the white population 4 to 1, and black people were increasingly registering to vote. This unnerved the white citizens who devised a plan to redraw the lines of the city from a square shape to a 28-side district that included all the white people, and only 4 or 5 black people. It essentially shut all black voters out of city politics. Prof. Charles G. Gomillion, who taught at Tuskegee Institute, filed this lawsuit to stop the city. After losing at the trial and appellate level, he appealed again to the US Supreme. Watch the video to find out what happened. If you like this episode, please be sure to rate and review us!

This episode discusses Shelley v. Kraemer (1948) a case that involved the use of restrictive covenants, which barred white people from selling their homes/property to blacks and people of other races and ethnicities. This essentially ensured that neighborhoods would remain segregated. J.D. Shelley, a black man bought a home for his family that had a restrictive covenant attached, and his neighbor sued to have him removed. The case went to the US Supreme.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, this week I discuss Hernandez v. Texas (1954). It was actually the first civil rights case decided by the Warren court; it was decided two weeks before Brown v. Board of Education. Pedro Hernandez, an American of Mexican descent was tried and convicted of murder by an all-white, non-Hispanic jury. At that time Mexicans were considered "white," but they were subjected to Jim Crow rule like Black Americans. His attorneys appealed his case to the Supreme Court. They argued that the systematic exclusion of Mexican Americans from the jury violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. His attorney Gus Garcia contended that Mexicans were "a class apart" from blacks and whites. **CORRECTION**: In the video, I stated that the plaintiffs did not see themselves as white. However, a more precise word would've been "Anglo," which is often conflated/used interchangeably with the word "white." Hernandez sought to distinguish Mexicans from the often conflated understanding of the word 'white' (ie white=Anglo), thereby creating a class a part, or a class of"other white.”…

I am interrupting my normally scheduled series to bring a special episode that focuses on the history of Eugenics, forced sterilization, and civil rights. I had to respond to the recent Whistleblower complaint lodged by Dawn Wooten, a nurse who worked in ICE detention centers. She has alleged that a doctor sterilized the women in the detention centers without their consent and/or knowledge. Sadly, forced sterilization is nothing new. In this episode I briefly look at the history of eugenics, its role in the forced sterilization of people, the Supreme court case that allowed for forced sterilizations (Buck v. Bell (1927)), and the black sisters who won a case to curtail this (Relf v. Weinberger (1973)).…
This episode looks at the frequent occurrence where vibrant black cities and communities were destroyed during the early part of the 20th Century, either violently or through "legal" means. Here I focus on two black communities based in Florida that were destroyed during this period: Ocoee and Goldsboro. The black community in Ocoee was violently destroyed election night of 1920, and Goldsboro was destroyed when the Florida legislature abolished its charter and absorbed it into the city of Sanford. This ended with a case that went to the Florida Supreme Court.

This episode looks at Guinn v. the United States, which dealt with voting rights and the use of the Grandfather Clause. One year after the state of Oklahoma was adopted into the union, it amended its constitution to require literacy tests for those wishing to register to vote. Oklahoma included a grandfather clause in the law that allowed those who couldn't pass the literacy test to still vote if they were able to vote on or before January 1, 1866, or if one of their ancestors (i.e. grandfather, father, etc.) OR if they or one of their ancestors were a citizen of a foreign nation on or before January 1, 1866. The Supreme Court had to decide if this Grandfather clause was constitutional or violated the 15th Amendment.

This episode is part 2 of the (in)famous Scottsboro Boys case, the case that inspired Harper Lee to write her beloved novel To Kill a Mockingbird. In 1931, nine black boys, ages 13-19, were arrested, tried, and convicted of the brutal rapes of two white women, Ruby Bates and Victoria Price. Eight of the nine men were sentenced to death before having their convictions overturned not once, but twice, by the U.S. Supreme Court. This episode discusses the facts surrounding the second case that went to the Supreme Court, Norris v. Alabama (1935).

In this episode, I look at not so well-known case of United States v. Shipp (1909). This is the extraordinary case where the United States Supreme Court held a criminal trial to prosecute a white sheriff for the lynching of a black man. This is the only time in the court's entire history it held a criminal trial. Take a listen to hear the incredible story.

In this episode, I look at the infamous Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), where the US Supreme Court ruled that separate but equal was constitutional. This case helped usher in the Jim Crow era in America, and was a major blow to all the Reconstruction Amendments and civil rights laws passed after the Civil War. This case is fascinating and has many interesting parts to it. Listen to learn just a little about this very pivotal case. Books Mention: 1. Black Trials by Mark Weiner 2.

In this episode I look at The Civil Rights Cases (1883). Similar to Brown v. Board of Education, this case is a consolidation of five cases where the Plaintiffs filed discrimination suits against the defendants based upon the Civil Rights Act of 1875, America's second civil rights law. The Court was asked to decide if the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was unconstitutional under the 10th Amendment. The court's holding and reasoning, I argue, highlight a critical problem that has had a lingering effect on how we currently address the issue of race. Books Mentioned: 1.

In this episode I look at Strauder v. West Virginia (1880), the first in a long line of cases dealing with discrimination in the jury selection process. Jury duty is a very important topic in the history of black rights. I believe that it is just as important, if not more than the right the vote. And this country has a long history of intentionally excluding blacks for juries, which has allowed whites guilty of brutal crimes against black to go free (e.g. George Zimmerman). It has also led to countless blacks being sent to prison by a jury that is not comprised of their peers. As we look to see if the murderers of Ahmaud Arbery and Geroge Floyd are brought to justice, the composition of the jury will be critical. I anticipate that the defense attorney(s) will attempt to knock all the black people off the jury. Hopefully, the state won't allow it, but I'm not holding my breath.

This episode looks at the infamous Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) case. Dred Scott sued for his freedom claiming that he was free after his master brought him to free terrirotry. His case went all the way up to the US Supreme Court and led to one of the most egregious rulings on race in the court's history.
