Challenging segregation in court  NAACP placed law students under Marshall in  Won 29/32 cases for the next 23 years.

Milestone court cases  Morgan v. Virginia Illegal to have segregation on interstate buses.  Sweatt v Painter State law schools must admit black applicants

Brown v Board of Education  May 17, 1945 Linda Brown’s father sued for his daughter to attend the white elementary school 4 blocks from his house rather than the black one 21 blocks away.  AND THE VERDICT IS…. Segregation in schooling is over!
