The NAACP Legal Defense Fund has received questions from education and corporate leaders about how to respond to the federal government’s moves, and Nelson has given them some pretty astute advice. “You must follow the law and not the lies,” Nelson says in the video. “It is unlawful to discriminate in the workplace, it’s unlawful to discriminate in the university context, and Diversity, equity, and inclusion measures often prevent that kind of liability, prevent discrimination from happening.” h

Despite the promise of equal opportunity in Brown v. Board of Education nearly 70 years ago, many schools in America remain segregated and inequitably funded, especially along racial and socioeconomic lines. In a new episode of Justice Above All, we’re joined by education equity leaders Saba Bireda (Founder of Brown’s Promise) and Elizabeth Horton Sheff (Director at Community Renewal Team). Together, we explore the enduring challenges of school desegregation—and what systemic changes are still n

On this day in 1960, four Black students from North Carolina A&T—Ezell Blair Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain, and Joseph McNeil—sat at an “all‑white” Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro and refused to leave. Their simple but powerful act of nonviolent resistance sparked sit‑ins across the nation. Their one act sparked youth‑led activism nationwide and became a defining moment in the Civil Rights Movement. | The Legal Defense Fund

On this day in 1965, Vivian Malone Jones made history as the first Black graduate of the University of Alabama. Just two years earlier, her enrollment had been infamously blocked by then-Governor George Wallace, who stood in the schoolhouse door in a failed attempt to uphold segregation. Her graduation with a degree in business management marked a pivotal moment in the fight for educational equity and civil rights in the South. | The Legal Defense Fund

NAACP Legal Defense Funds Weighs in on SCOTUS and Voting Rights

The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow. And Sherrilyn Ifill just explained exactly what it was designed to do and why gutting it matters. Ifill sat down with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show this week and broke it down plainly. The whole point of the Voting Rights Act was to protect the voting strength of minorities whose candidates of choice are most often not supported by the white majority. And to prove a violation under Section 2 you had to actually show that in court. Racially polarized voting.
