Now, in this engaging biography, Mark Elliott offers an insightful portrait of a fearless lawyer, jurist, and writer, who fought for equality long after most Americans had abandoned the ideals of Reconstruction. Elliott provides a fascinating account of Tourg e's life, from his childhood in the Western Reserve region of Ohio (then a hotbed of abolitionism), to his years as a North Carolina judge during Reconstruction, to his memorable role as lead plaintiff's counsel in the landmark Supreme Court case \u003ci\u003ePlessy v. Ferguson\u003c\/i\u003e. Tourg e's brief coined the phrase that justice should be \"color-blind,\" and his career was one long campaign to make good on that belief. A redoubtable lawyer and an accomplished jurist, Tourg e's writings represent a mountain of dissent against the prevailing tide of racial oppression. A poignant and inspiring study in courage and conviction, \u003ci\u003eColor-Blind Justice\u003c\/i\u003e offers us an unforgettable portrayal of Albion Tourg e and the principles to which he dedicated his life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022845985008,"sku":"9780195181395","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195181395_p0.jpg?v=1763664289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195181395","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
