505 0 |a Prologue : April 27, 1903 -- We must either fight or submit : phase one begins -- If thine eye be evil : the road to Williams v. Mississippi -- The grandfather clause : phase two begins -- Negroes have organized : Alabama's disfranchisers, Black activists, and the courts -- An appeal to the colored citizens of Alabama : registration and resistance -- The enemies' works : the Alabama cases begin -- Swords and torches : the Virginians enter the fray -- The second Dred Scott case : Giles v. Harris is decided -- The banner Negroes : fighting to the end. 
520 |a In Defying Disfranchisement, R. Volney Riser documents a number of lawsuits challenging various requirements--including literacy tests, poll taxes, and white primaries--designed primarily to strip African American men of their right to vote in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Twelve of these wended their way to the U. S. Supreme Court, and that body coldly ignored the systematic disfranchisement of black southerners. Nevertheless, as Riser demonstrates, the attempts themselves were stunning and demonstrate that even at one of their darkest hours, African Americans sheltered and nurtured a hope that led to wholesale changes in the American legal and political landscape.
