[Charles Hamilton Houston]

I played a major role in deciding what legal strategy should be used in civil right cases. My work helped convince judges to rule for the NAACP. I set out to create a law school that trained African American lawyers dedicated to winning equal rights. I was responsible for inspiring dozens of lawyers to spend their careers working for civil rights.  Altman, Susan, and Susan Altman. Extraordinary African- Americans. Canada: Children's Press, 2001.
