Jury Discrimination
The Supreme Court, Public Opinion, and a Grassroots Fight for Racial Equality in Mississippi
In 1906 a white lawyer named Dabney Marshall argued a case before the Mississippi Supreme Court demanding the racial integration of juries. This book explores how Marshall and his allies were able to force the court to overturn state law and precedent, if only for a brief period, at the behest of the U.S. Supreme Court.
