Simple Justice
The History of Brown v. Board of Education and Black America's Struggle for Equality
Richard Kluger
An epic account of the battle for human dignity, Simple Justice is a landmark work of popular history that traces the background of the 1954 Supreme Court ruling that outlawed racial segregation in the US. Author Richard Kluger skillfully tells the story of those who fought for equal justice under law, including the many plaintiffs who refused to accept defeat and the black legal establishment who patiently assembled a body of law to free their people from unjust laws. Impeccably researched and elegantly written, Simple Justice is the most revealing report ever published of America’s highest court at work, offering a panoramic account of a struggle that gave birth to the civil rights upheavals of the 1960s and beyond.
