Strauder v. West Virginia
STRAUDER V. WEST VIRGINIASTRAUDER V. WEST VIRGINIA, 100 U.S. 303 (1880), a case in which the Supreme Court declared that a West Virginia statute restricting jury service to whites violated the Fourteenth Amendment because it denied African Americans equal protection of the law. The Court also upheld the Civil Rights Act (1866) provision for removal of cases to the federal courts when equal rights were denied in state courts. BIBLIOGRAPHYEngle, Stephen D.
