Jews Lead the Black Civil-Rights Movement In the U.S.

The book "Jewish Power" [1] notes that Jews played a key role in the creation of Black 'civil-rights' in America. Important court rulings giving Blacks 'equal rights' came as the result of Jewish organizations guiding and steering the legal research and legal arguments that led to those rulings. If the court rulings were thought of as being cakes, Jews bought, and mixed, the ingredients.

The milestone court ruling in America that gave birth to racial desegregation was the 1954 'Brown v. Board of Education' legal case, which was launched by a Jewish woman named Esther Brown and was aided by Jewish activists and attorneys [2].

[1] "Jewish Power: Inside the American Jewish Establishment," by Jewish author J.J. Goldberg, 1996, Addison-Wesley. Pages 313ff [softcover] give details about the Black/Jewish political alliance in America -- which was Jewish-run and not Black-run.

[2] a major Jewish group, the American Jewish Committee, funded the research that led to the Black victory in the Supreme Court ruling on 'Brown v. Board of Education.' Jewish lawyers such as Jack Greenberg helped to deliver the 'Brown' court victory. The plaintiff in the 'Brown' case was Oliver Brown, a Black man. However, the Jewish woman Esther Swirk Brown launched the case as shown Here [more information on Jews-working-for-Blacks Here or Here ]
