ABSTRACT
Except for the luminous period of the Warren Court (circa 1950s–1970s), the U.S. Supreme Court has been a racist, anti-universal freedom, institution. This chapter suggests the current Court may be reverting to its racist, anti-universal freedom, past. The chapter begins with an examination of the appointments of African Americans to the federal judiciary, and then detailed analysis is presented of Supreme Court cases dealing with school desegregation, voting rights and representation, affirmative action in education, employment and government contracts, and institutional racism.
