About this ebook
Bookseller Praise for On Account of Race
"A crucially important examination of the ways in which the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly stood with white supremacists over the civil rights of all citizens. To be read alongside Stamped from the Beginning and One Person, No Vote." —Buffy Cummins, Tattered Cover (Denver, CO)
"Thorough, disturbing analysis of how the Supreme Court in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century subverted and ultimately quashed the voting rights of millions of African Americans. Differing interpretations of the constitution and its amendments are commonplace, but what is uncommon, and grossly unconstitutional, was the elimination of a fundamental right earned by nothing less than a shattering civil war." —Mike Hare, Northshire Bookstore (Manchester Center, VT)
Editor's Note
Essential primer…
Constitutional law expert Lawrence Goldstone lays out how the US Supreme Court has failed again and again to strike down laws and practices blocking Black citizens from the constitutional right to vote for well over a century. An essential primer for understanding how people of color continue to be disenfranchised today.
