What are Laws Laws are rules that tell you what you can and cannot do in a society. If you break them, you can be punished. What laws do we have today? Why do you think these laws were created? © PIH Network, 2011.

WHAT IS COURT? Courts of law are the umpires of the American legal system. Decides if law was broken. Decides who is right when one person “sues” another. Decides on punishment. The U.S. court system is divided into two separate systems, the federal and the state. U.S. Supreme Court Federal Courts State Courts City Courts © PIH Network, 2011.

What is a legal strategy? A method of bringing about change through the courts. Courts can throw out bad laws and make people do the right thing even if they don’t want to. © PIH Network, 2011.

Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) The U.S. Supreme Court decided a law mandating separate but equal accommodations for blacks and whites was constitutional. © PIH Network, 2011.

Successful Integration Fayetteville, Arkansas 1954 © PIH Network, 2011.

Within a week following Brown v. Board, Fayetteville announced its intention to desegregate. Three months later, white and black students were attending the same local high school together. Although there was a fear that violence might happen, nothing serious was ever reported. Many other peaceful school integrations occurred throughout the state of Alabama, as well as across the United States. © PIH Network, 2011.
