Furthermore, we will examine the process it takes to become a judge, the education as well as social disparities faced amongst African Americans. The lack of African American Judges can be attributed to the process in which it takes to become one. Additionally, the process for anyone to enter…

During the 60’s African Americans were faced with hardships unlike no other, having to deal with racism, educational disparities, and segregation during the Jim Crowe era of the deep south. Fixing to fight the status quo of the segregationist American south, African American students from historically Black Institutions had demonstrated that education should “serve as a tool to enlighten a people relative to their civil rights and social justice.” With African Americans leaders of the time…
