Black people were officially allowed to serve on juries in the United States following the Civil Rights Movement and the subsequent legal changes. The landmark Supreme Court case, Nixon v. Herndon in 1927, struck down a Texas law that excluded Black individuals from jury service. However, widespread inclusion and actual jury participation varied significantly by state and locality, with many Southern states continuing to find ways to exclude Black jurors until the mid-20th century. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and further legal challenges that more consistent access to jury service was achieved across the country.
