Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs sued at law to recover damages for breach of a racial restrictive covenant, alleging that defendants violated the covenant by conveying restricted property to persons of the Negro race and placing them in possession and occupancy.

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, a Negro, was denied admission to a municipal golf course under an ordinance setting aside certain public parks for the exclusive use of Negroes, and providing that all other public parks were for the exclusive use of white people.

Michigan Law Review

The enforcement by federal legislation of the constitutional right of individuals is a story written largely in terms of confusion, distortion and frustration.
