Black Court Cases That Changed History

Explore the Supreme Court cases that shaped Black history and the long fight for civil rights in America. From slavery and segregation to voting rights, housing, education, public accommodations, marriage, and fair trials, these landmark cases show how the law was used both to deny freedom and to expand equality. Some decisions pushed Black Americans backward, while others helped open doors for justice and civil rights. Together, these cases reveal how much of Black history was fought not only in protests, schools, churches, and streets, but also inside courtrooms. Chapters: 0:00 Dred Scott v.
