"The use of the phrase “states’ rights” didn’t spark any reaction in the crowd, but it led the coverage in The Times and The Post the next day." Apparently its a key coded phrase to NY and DC liberals, but didn't mean as much to Mississippians. BTW Brown wasn't about states rights per se. It was about overturning the "separate but equal" principle established by Plessy. As an aftermath, the case helped cement the legal foundation for the doctrine of separate but equal, the idea that segregation based on classifications was legal as long as facilities were of equal quality. en.wikipedia.org ---------------------------------------------------------- PS Re your interest in US domestic politics, do you wish you were an American or something?
