Crusaders in the Courts: Legal Battles of the Civil Rights Movement
Anniversary Edition

By Jack Greenberg
Former Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund

Jack Greenberg, a key figure at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) for thirty-five years, offers both a powerful personal memoir and the definitive history of an organization that helped change American society. Mr. Greenberg offers insights into the strategies, courtroom techniques, values, and personal relationships that evolved as the LDF argued many of the prominent civil rights cases associated with the last half of the twentieth century. Highlights include:

* The early groundwork of the LDF leading to the landmark school integration case, Brown v. Board of Education;
* The legal battles over voting rights, the death penalty and the defense of Martin Luther King, Jr.;
* The origin of major employment discrimination cases and remedies;
* The lasting impact of Brown v. Board of Education, the LDF and its sister organizations in protecting the rights of individuals in the U.S. and abroad.
