The top of the front page has a one column heading: "SEGREGATION IS BANNED IN THREE CASES" with subhead. (see images)
Complete with 30 pages, light toning at the margins, minor spine wear, generally very nice.

Background: On June 5, 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court issued several landmark decisions advancing civil rights and challenging segregation. In Sweatt v. Painter, the Court ruled that the University of Texas Law School could not deny admission to Heman Marion Sweatt, a Black applicant, and that the separate law school created for Black students was inherently unequal, signaling a weakening of the “separate but equal” doctrine. In McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents, the Court held that the University of Oklahoma could not segregate George W. McLaurin within classrooms, libraries, or cafeterias, as these restrictions impeded his ability to learn and interact with fellow students, violating the Equal Protection Clause. Additionally, in Henderson v. United States, the Court struck down racially segregated dining-car facilities on interstate trains, affirming that enforced segregation violated the Interstate Commerce Act. Together, these decisions represented an important judicial move toward dismantling legalized racial segregation, laying critical groundwork for the Supreme Court’s later ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.
