A useful choice for readers interested in how law and government affect civil rights. Expect historical discussion of several groups and cases, with justice and discrimination presented as part of the Court’s record.
America was founded on the idea of liberty for all. But it has not always achieved that ideal. To Establish Justice is an honest and powerful examination of the Supreme Court's role in legalizing-or negating-civil rights for various groups. From the struggles of Native Americans at the country's birth to the African American civil rights movement of the 1960s, from the vote for women to the internment of the Japanese during World War II, To Establish Justice shows how the Supreme Court has paved the way for both justice and discrimination, and how this important arm of our government has impacted all of our lives.

Some readers may need support when discussing discrimination, curtailed rights and the internment of Japanese people during the Second World War.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
