Featured Brief
"It is in the context of the present world struggle
between freedom and tyranny that the problem of racial
discrimination must be viewed. The United States is
trying to prove to the people of the world, of every
nationality, race, and color, that a free democracy
is the most civilized and most secure form of government
yet devised by man. We must set an example for others
by showing firm determination to remove existing flaws
in our democracy." Brief for the United
States as Amicus Curiae, in
Brown v. Board of Education, 349 U.S. 294 (1954).
