Informationen zum Autor Merlin Owen Newton is associate professor of History and Political Science at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama. Klappentext "Newton has produced a model monograph! clear dispassionate! and accurate! on two significant episodes in the interpretation of American constitutional rights." Zusammenfassung A fascinating history that underscores the importance of ‘little people’ in affecting the US government. The book stresses the courage of a black man, Rosco Jones, and a white woman, Grace Marsh, who dared to challenge the status quo in Alabama in the early 1940s.
