Charles Houston was a key figure in the legal battles against Jim Crow laws during the early to mid-20th century. As a prominent civil rights attorney and dean of Howard University Law School, he played a crucial role in the legal strategy that led to the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. His work laid the groundwork for the broader Civil Rights Movement, helping to dismantle the legal structure supporting Jim Crow laws.
