State of Segregation:
America's Freedom Rights Struggles as Told by Alabama
"A revealing legal journey through Alabama’s civil rights battles, exposing systemic discrimination and the enduring fight for justice via landmark Supreme Court cases."
“State of Segregation is an accessible, well-organized, well-researched account of Alabama's important role in the legal history of civil rights and social justice.” ―Frye Gaillard, author of Cradle of Freedom
“State of Segregation translates the opaque language of law into a tongue anyone can understand.” ―John Miller, JD, is professor and assistant director of New College at the University of Alabama
“State of Segregation is an irreverent and entertaining look at both familiar and lesser-known, but important, civil rights and liberties cases. Tenhundfeld's brief review of the case law will encourage readers . . . to learn more about these and the many other significant cases from Alabama.” ―Steven P. Brown, author of Alabama Justice: The Cases and Faces That Changed a Nation
About me and this book:
I'm a retired lawyer and teacher. I was born and raised in Mobile, attending school there from kindergarten through high school.
But I never was taught Alabama's history. At least not the hard stuff. The stuff where Alabama advanced freedom rights despite its best efforts.
This book is what I wish I had read when I was in those Alabama schools.
