William Henry Hastie

Civil Rights Lawyer, Educator, Federal Judge African American attorney and educator William Henry Hastie devoted his life and career to ending segregation and discrimination in American society. Together with his cousin Charles Houston (who, like Hastie, had been dean of the Howard University Law School), and their student, future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Hastie devised and executed the legal strategy used by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to chip away at legalized segregation and discrimination in the 1930s and 1940s, thereby laying the groundwork for the group's ultimate victory in the landmark Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education (1954). [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Hastie, William Henry (1904–76)]
