This chapter details the ways opponents of the civil rights movement opposed the notion of brotherhood, referring to “brotherhoodism” as a concept that could undermine all authority, the significance of race, and, ultimately, any standards of right and wrong. The chapter argues that leaders of massive resistance against the civil rights movement claimed their movement was about family protection, and they said that instead of brotherhood, they supported the power of parents.Less

The Search for Justice is a study of the role of lawyers in the Civil Rights Revolution. The work focuses on school desegregation from 1950 to 1975 and includes counsel on both sides of the struggle in the courtroom and in Congress, the federal and state judges and justices, and law school constitutional authorities. Key cases include Sweatt v. Painter, Brown v. Board of Education, and NAACP v. Alabama. Key players include Thurgood Marshall, Robert L. Carter, John W. Davis, Earl Warren, James Patterson, Strom Thurmond, Richard Russell, Alexander Bickel, and Herbert Wechsler. The argument is that the outcome of the struggle was never inevitable: lawyers for segregation did an able job of representing their clients, and in some sense were successful with resegregating neighborhood schools.Less

When the civil rights campaign moved north, advocates of integration faced white flight and attendant re-segregation. In Boston, white violence prevented integration of the high schools. In cases like Detroit's Millikan v. Bradley, the limits of the busing remedy pioneered in Charlotte became apparent. The neighborhood school model sought in years of litigation was failing. In the meantime, advocates of segregation were developing alternative legal arguments to tradition and precedent, for example: freedom of association, original intent, and the cultural uniqueness of the South.Less
