Marshall, Thurgood \n \n \n1908—93, U.S. lawyer and Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1967—91), b. Baltimore He received his law degree from Howard Univ. in 1933. In 1936 he joined the legal staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. As its chief counsel (1938—61), he argued more than 30 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, successfully challenging racial segregation, most notably in higher education. His presentation of the argument against the "separate but equal" doctrine achieved its greatest impact with the landmark decision handed down in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954). His appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1961 was opposed by some Southern senators and was not confirmed until 1962. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the Supreme Court two years later; he was the first black to sit on the high court, where he consistently supported the position taken by those challenging discrimination based on race or sex, opposed the death penalty, and supported the rights of criminal defendants. His support for affirmative action led to his strong dissent in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978). As appointments by Presidents Nixon and Reagan changed the outlook of the Court, Marshall found himself increasingly in the minority; in retirement he was outspoken in his criticism of the court.\n\nSee biography by J. Williams (1998); studies by R. W. Bland (1973) and H. Ball (1999); R. Kluger, Simple Justice (1976).

Lum v. Rice 275 U.S. 78 (1927), is a famous case decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1927. The decision effectively approved the exclusion of minority children from schools reserved for whites.\n\nIn 1924, a nine-year old Chinese-American named Martha Lum, daughter of Gong Lum, was prohibited from attending the Rosedale Consolidated High School in Bolivar County, Mississippi solely because she was of Chinese descent.\n\nThere was no school in the district maintained for Chinese students, and she was forced by compulsory attendance laws to attend school.\n\nA lower court granted the plaintiff's request of a writ of mandamus to force the members of the Board of Trustees to admit Martha Lum. It should be noted that Gong Lum's case was not that racial discrimination as such was illegal, but that his daughter, being Chinese, had incorrectly been classified as colored by the authorities.\n\nSince the ruling went against them, the Board of Trustees became the plaintiff and Lum was named the defendant in the case Rice v. Gong Lum, which was heard in the Supreme Court of Mississippi. The state Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision and allowed the board of trustees to exclude Martha Lum from the school for white children.\n\nGong Lum appealed the state Supreme Court's ruling to the federal Supreme Court. In an opinion written by Chief Justice William Howard Taft, the Supreme Court affirmed the state Supreme Court's ruling and thus the position of the board of trustees. Martha Lum was not allowed to go to the school for white children.

It no longer applies, but the law in Alabama in the 1950s was that black people had to sit in the back of the bus if white people wanted to sit in the front. Rosa Parks protested that law by refusing to go to the back when asked, and as such began the Civil Rights movement which eventually led to the removal of racist laws.

The nine members of the Supreme Court are referred to as Justices.  They have drivers which double as bodyguards.  They pick them up at their residences in the morning and drive them to the Supreme Court building.  There are armed guards throughout the building and its perimeter.  \n   Once the session has ended for the day, their respective drivers take them home or wherever else they may be going.  They do not have secret service detail for their private residences, unless it is warranted by some threat.\n   Recently, Justice David Souter was required to have protection at his home.  Protesters were trying to have his house condemned in response to the Court's decision over an eminent domain case in the northeast with which they were extremely displeased the with outcome of the trial.

The Freedom Riders were a group of men and women from many different backgrounds and ethnicities who boarded buses, trains and planes headed for the deep South to test the 1960 U.S. Supreme Court ruling outlawing racial segregation in all interstate public facilities.\n\nThe movement began in the 1950s. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was involved in the struggle to end segregation on buses and trains. In 1952, segregation on interstate railways was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. This was followed in 1954 by a similar judgment concerning interstate buses. However, states in the Deep South continued their own policy of transport segregation. This usually involved whites sitting in the front and blacks sitting nearest to the front had to give up their seats to any whites that were standing.\n\nAfrican American people who disobeyed the state's transport segregation policies were regularly arrested and fined. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a middle-aged tailor's assistant from Montgomery, Alabama, took an action that was a turning point in the American Civil Rights Movement when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus.\n\nMany people have said she was tired after a hard day's work and this may have been true in part, but in her own story, Parks -- who had volunteered to help the NAACP -- said it was more that she was tired of giving in to the bigotry and mistreatment of African Americans. She was seated in a row of two bus seats which each seated two people. One white man got on the bus and when no seat was available for him in the front section, the bus driver (who had mistreated Parks in the past) told all four of the black passengers in the front row of the rear section to move. The other three did, but Parks stayed where she was and refused to move. The driver called for the police and Parks was arrested and taken to jail.\n\nAfter his arrest, Martin Luther King, Jr., a minister at a local Baptist Church, helped organize protests against bus segregation. It was decided that black people in Montgomery would refuse to use the buses until passengers were completely integrated. King was arrested and his house was fire-bombed. Others involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycott also suffered from harassment and intimidation, but the protest continued.\n\nFor 13 months, the 17,000 black people in Montgomery walked to work or obtained lifts from car owners in the city who volunteered to help. Eventually, the loss of revenue and a decision by the Supreme Court forced the Montgomery Bus Company to accept integration.\n\nEven after this decision, transportation segregation continued in some parts of the Deep South, so in 1961, a civil rights group, the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) began to organize Freedom Rides. After three days of training in non-violent techniques, black and white volunteers sat next to each other as they traveled through the Deep South.\n\nJames Farmer, national director of CORE, and 13 volunteers left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961. Along the way, they met up with many other volunteers as they traveled through Virginia, Charlotte, North Carolina, Rock Hill, South Carolina, Georgia and Anniston, Alabama.\n\nIn Anniston, the original bus carrying the Freedom Riders was fire bombed. As they struggled to get out of the bus, the group was beaten. They and riders on another bus were attacked by men armed with clubs, bricks, iron pipes, and knives. Still, the group continued on.\n\nMeanwhile, a second group of riders left Nashville, Tennessee on May 14, 1961 headed for Birmingham, Alabama, where they joined with the first group of Freedom Riders on May 20, 1961. The U.S. Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, sent his assistant, John Seigenthaler Sr., to accompany the Freedom Riders.\n\nThere in Birmingham, the passengers were greeted by members of the Ku Klux Klan with further acts of violence and the group was forced to sp
