The slow undoing : the federal courts and the long struggle for civil rights in South Carolina / by Lowe, Stephen Harold,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-235) and index."This couldn't have been ignorance" : challenging the White Primary in the 1940s -- Not equal, but still separate : challenging Jim Crow education in the 1940s 30 -- "Unexampled courage" : school desegregation in the 1950s -- "Plessy has not been overturned" : law and resistance in the late 1950s -- "We don't allow colored people in here" : segregation to "integration with dignity," 1959-63 -- "We have not yet run out of courts" : desegregation in the mid-1960s -- "We've run out of courts, and we've run out of time" : freedom of choice and school desegregation to 1970 -- Desegregation, not integration : South Carolina Since 1968."Author Stephen Lowe provides the first comprehensive study of legal action in South Carolina, beginning in the mid-1930s, when Charles Hamilton Houston established the framework for the assault on segregation, and continuing well into the post-Brown era. He situates the study within the historiography of the "Long Civil Rights Movement," demonstrating that both advancement towards, and resistance to, the expansion of African American civil rights began much earlier, and continued much later, than is often recognized within the standard periodization of the movement. African American plaintiffs and lawyers from South Carolina, with support of lawyers from the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, brought and argued civil rights lawsuits in the federal courts of South Carolina attempting to equalize, then desegregate schools, parks, and public life. Meanwhile, White citizens, mostly state politicians and local officials, hired lawyers who crafted new legal theories to defend state practices and forestall Black equality. Over the course of several decades, Blacks and Whites in South Carolina used the courts as a venue within which to contest the Constitutional definitions of justice, equality, and citizenship. Among its contributions, the manuscript expands the dominant narrative of the civil rights movement in South Carolina. While there is a growing literature on the struggle for civil rights in South Carolina, the current project further enhances our ability to understand the many and varied events and individuals who contributed to the struggle in the state. It also explores, in great detail, the extent to which South Carolinians, both black and white, used the courts as a battleground, either to advance racial justice or to delay the implementation of civil rights decisions through new legal and (spurious) sociological arguments respectively. It complicates the "desegregation with dignity" narrative that dominates the popular memory of the civil rights movement in South Carolina. In so doing it helps to answer the question of why the state, which had a long history of often violent repression of African American rights, saw relatively few incidents of the bus burnings and gubernatorial confrontations that marked the period in other states. In South Carolina, Lowe argues, "massive resistance" took place within the context of the federal courts, which were far from uniformly progressive in their rulings around racial equity"--

The inheritance : Inspector Trave and Detective Clayton, book 1 / by Tolkien, Simon,1959-(CARDINAL)668315;

When a famed Oxford historian is found dead in his study one night, all evidence points to his son, Stephen. About to be disinherited from the family fortune, Stephen returns to home after a long estrangement and it happens to be the night his father is shot to death. When his fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, Stephen s guilt seems undeniable. But there were five other people in the manor house at the time, and as their stories slowly emerge along with the revelation that the deceased man was involved in a deadly hunt for a priceless relic in Northern France at the end of World War II the race is on to save Stephen from a death sentence. Everyone has a motive, and no one is telling the truth. Unwilling to sit by and watch the biased judge condemn Stephen to death, an ageing police inspector decides to travel from England to France to find out what really happened in that small French village in 1945 and what artifact could be so valuable it would be worth killing for.
