Blacks were allowed to serve on juries following the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, particularly with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent legal changes. However, earlier progress occurred in some states after the Reconstruction era, when African Americans initially participated in juries. Discriminatory practices, such as voter suppression and legal loopholes, often excluded them until more comprehensive reforms were enacted in the mid-20th century. The landmark Supreme Court case, Taylor v. Louisiana in 1975, further affirmed the right of African Americans to serve on juries, reinforcing the principle of a jury of one’s peers.
