President Obama, the Supreme Court and the 14th and 15th Amendments

According to the reviews, this is a must-read book to understand the deep background of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s that allowed the Supreme Court to essentially abrogate the protection of the 14th and 15th Amendments as they applied to African Americans. This meant that discrimination against freedmen and their descendents was essentially thrown back into the hands of land-owning southerners. President Obama as a former attorney could leverage these historical accounts to prevent similiar circumstances from continuing to occur in digital communication networks where African Americans are not given fair opportunities to be network owners.





Also on the journey to Digital Equality, society must consider digital media education. The reviewers state this is the most thorough book you will read on Brown v. Board of Education. The author writes based on his experience as a lawyer, a historian and a journalist who witnesses a multitude of events which he depicts.

In some respects, this book could inform President Obama and his team on how the Supreme Court and its process of decision-making positively and negatively impacts Education Equity and Digital Equality.
