In the Supreme Court case Norris v. Alabama (1935), the Court ruled that the systematic exclusion of African Americans from juries violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The case involved the conviction of a Black man, Norris, who argued that his right to a fair trial was compromised due to the lack of African American jurors.
