520    "On Easter Sunday of 1873, just eight years after the 
       Civil War ended, a band of white supremacists marched into
       Grant Parish, Louisiana, and massacred over one hundred 
       unarmed African Americans. The court case that followed 
       would reach the highest court in the land. Yet, following 
       one of the most ghastly and barbaric incidents of mass 
       murder in American history, not a single person was 
       convicted. The opinion issued by the Supreme Court in US 
       v. Cruikshank set in motion a process that would help 
       create a society in which black Americans were oppressed 
       and denied basic human rights -- legally, according to the
       courts. These injustices would last for the next hundred 
       years, and many continue to exist to this day. In this 
       compelling and thoroughly researched volume for young 
       readers, Lawrence Goldstone traces the evolution of the 
       law and the fascinating characters involved in the story 
       of how the Supreme Court helped institutionalize racism in
       the American justice system"--|cProvided by publisher.
