In \u003ci\u003eWe Face the Dawn, \u003c\/i\u003e Margaret Edds tells the gripping story of how the South's most significant grassroots legal team challenged the barriers of racial segregation in mid-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirginians Oliver Hill and Spottswood Robinson initiated and argued one of the five cases that combined into the landmark \u003ci\u003eBrown v. Board of Education, \u003c\/i\u003e but their influence extends far beyond that momentous ruling. They were part of a small brotherhood, headed by social-justice pioneer Thurgood Marshall and united largely through the Howard Law School, who conceived and executed the NAACP's assault on racial segregation in education, transportation, housing, and voting. Hill and Robinson's work served as a model for southern states and an essential underpinning for Brown. When the Virginia General Assembly retaliated with laws designed to disbar the two lawyers and discredit the NAACP, they defiantly carried the fight to the United States Supreme Court and won.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a time when numerous schools have resegregated and the prospects of many minority children appear bleak, Hill and Robinson's remarkably effective campaign against various forms of racial segregation can inspire a new generation to embrace educational opportunity as the birthright of every American child.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargaret Edds, a journalist, is the author of \u003ci\u003eFinding Sara: A Daughter's Journey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAn Expendable Man: The Near Execution of Earl Washington, Jr.\u003c\/i\u003e among other books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53999195881747,"sku":"9780813942643","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/6300\/3667\/files\/LzNZR0k2S2xuNnlNQnZUeXBwREV3UT09.webp?v=1775022393","url":"https:\/\/finduslaw.com\/products\/we-face-the-dawn-oliver-hill-spottswood-robinson-and-the-legal-team-that-dismantled-jim-crow-paperback","provider":"FindUSlaw Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
