TODAY, IN HISTORY
Almost 50 years ago, .........
On Nov. 13, 1956, the Supreme Court
struck down the legality of racial
segregation on public buses, ruling
that such laws violated the civil
rights of Americans.
The Court interpreted the Constitution
as guaranteeing every individual the right
to fair and equal treatment before the
law, and that, therefore, majorities in the
states, or state laws, which discriminate
against a minority are unConstitutional.
