This book examines the rhetorical/legal dynamics of the NAACP's twentieth-century struggle to overturn the "separate but equal" doctrine through school desegregation cases. It reveals that the Supreme Court relied not only on logical arguments but emotional and ethical appeals to reach Brown II's "with all deliberate speed" decree.
