Some stories of legal fights for civil rights and more importantly of some of the various and varied humans in whose names these cases were fought.
Very well written. Wonderfully evocative regarding the people, plaintiffs and also judges and defendants in these cases.
Important read considering the Supreme Court's long term, ongoing attack on civil rights.
