Abstract

Negro Rights and the Supreme Court
Dickerson, Earl B. | July 12, 1952 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court's civil-rights decisions. The court has often not merely refused to check the movement toward repression but contributed to its force. Certainly between the years 1937 and 1943 the court gave the U.S. Bill of Rights new breadth and depth and came close to restoring to the freedoms of the First Amendment the spirit and meaning the Founding Fathers intended it to have. The Supreme Court has also steadily whittled away at the Bill of Rights. Decision after decision has imposed limitations on the very civil rights which before 1945 the court had protected and extended.
