Essay Topics

1.

King claims that the Groveland Boys case was a crucial step in the creation of a “new America.” What does he mean by this? How does King back up his opinion that the Groveland case should be as well-known as, say, Brown v. Board of Education in the annals of civil rights history?

2.

What might be King’s reasons for beginning his book, not directly with the Groveland case, but with Marshall’s successful defense of 25 blacks accused of rioting in Columbia, Tennessee, in 1946?

3.

With which of his colleagues at the NAACP does Marshall seem to get along best? Cite examples from the book.
