Sonia adores the private school that she's attended about as long as she can remember. What I mean is, my parents were about to donate it before I had ever heard of it. This book has so many elements children love: pictures of animals, a birthday party, a birthday cake (my 2-yr-old loves pictures of birthday cakes!), kisses, friends, etc. If you're a gourmet cook, you will probably really like this book; I am not and it really doesn't suit my simple menu style or my family's tastebuds. "Today I will not allow false modesty to keep me from claiming the power within me. Very User friendly. It provides lots of great information!. No sugar coating the truth - just well researched and documented material. My only complaint is that there aren't that many.. The completely disheartening first-hand accounts of the acts of violence and depravity are haunting and frightening to say the least. Some of the content from the daily adages will seem familiar to many readers of this genre, others are original aHe also offers new insights into how the justices argued among themselves about the historic changes they were to make in American society. Drawing on interviews with Thurgood Marshall and other NAACP lawyers, as well as new information about the private deliberations of the Supreme Court, Tushnet tells the dramatic story of how the NAACP Legal Defense Fund led the Court to use the Constitution as an instrument of liberty and justice for all African-Americans. Making Civil Rights Law provides an overall picture of the forces involved in civil rights litigation, bringing clarity to the legal reasoning that animated this "Constitutional revolution", and showing how the slow development of doctrine and precedent reflected the overall legal strategy of Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP.. From the 1930s to the early 1960s civil rights law was made primarily through constitutional litigation. Before Rosa Parks could ignite a Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Supreme Court had to strike down the Alabama law which Board of Education was employed in restrictive covenant cases. He also provides a thorough account of the ideas and arguments of the individual justices who heard Brown , including the decision to reach the much criticized formulation of desegregation at "all deliberate speed." Marshall, observes Tushnet with judicious admiration, "constructed the job of civil rights lawyer" beginning in 1938, but by the late 1950s, he notes, the growth of a larger movement complete with demonstrations and boycotts made litigation less crucial to the civil rights movement. From Publishers Weekly Though this book covers some of the same ground as more popular histories like Richard Kluger's Simple Justice , Tushnet offers a more detailed and nuanced look at the workings of NAACP Legal Defense Fund lawyers and the internal arguments at the Supreme Court. A professor at Georgetown University Law Center, Tushnet draws on a wealth of materials--including newly available
