What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today?

I am interrupting my normally scheduled series to bring a special episode that focuses on the history of Eugenics, forced sterilization, and civil rights. I had to respond to the recent Whistleblower complaint lodged by Dawn Wooten, a nurse who worked in ICE detention centers. She has alleged that a doctor sterilized the women in the detention centers without their consent and/or knowledge. Sadly, forced sterilization is nothing new. In this episode I briefly look at the history of eugenics, its role in the forced sterilization of people, the Supreme court case that allowed for forced sterilizations (Buck v. Bell (1927)), and the black sisters who won a case to curtail this (Relf v. Weinberger (1973)).

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This week I look at the case of McCleskey v. Kemp (1987), a decision that's been called the Dred Scott case of our time. This case looks at racial disparities in the handing out of the death penalty. After defendant Warren McCleskey was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of white officer Frank Shlatt, his attorneys relied on a comprehensive study by Professor David Baldus, which analyzed potential racial disparities with respect to the death penalty in the state of Georgia. What the study found is that when a victim is white, a defendant is 4.3 times more likely to be sentenced to death than if the victim was of another race. McCleskey argued that such disparities ran afoul of the 8th Amendment and 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The court's ruling was a major setback for civil rights. Listen to find out why.

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This week I look at Batson v. Kentucky (1986), which deals with preventing black people from serving on the jury. In this case, James K Batson was charged with two counts of burglary and receipt of stolen property. During his trial, the prosecutor, a white man, struck all the black people from the potential jury pool. Batson was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He appealed his case to the US Supreme Court arguing that the use of what's called a "peremptory challenge" to remove all the black people from the potential jury pool violated his 6th Amendment's right to a fair trial and the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. What emerged from this case is what's now known as the Batson Rule. Listen to find out what that is exactly and to discover the remarkable way this story ended.

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This week's episode looks at Terry v. Ohio (1968), which deals with a current hot issue: "stop and frisk." In this case, John Terry, Richard Chilton, and Carl Katz were stopped and frisked by Det. Martin McFadden after he observed them behaving in a suspicious manner. During the frisk, McFadden discovered concealed weapons on both Terry and Chilton. Both men were charged with having a concealed and their attorney, former Congressman Louis Stokes, filed a motion to suppress the weapon. He argued that McFadden subjected Terry and Chilton to an unlawful search. The case made its way to the high court and the result continues to impact policing to the present day.

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This week's episode looks at the Heart of Atlanta Motel v. U.S.(1964). Unlike previous cases discussed in this series, this one involves a white plaintiff, Moreton Rolleston Jr., who challenged the then newly enacted Civil Rights Act of 1964. Rolleston, a staunch segregationist and lawyer, who owned the Heart of Atlanta Motel and he refused to serve black people. After the Civil Rights Act was passed, he filed an injunction claiming the law was unconstitutional. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the court unanimously ruled against him. He continued his litigious ways, eventually suing media mogul Tyler Perry several times. Watch the video above to discover why and to learn more about the case.

This case was the fourth in a series of cases challenging such primaries in the state of Texas. The Supreme Court had to decide whether or not the Democratic Party's decision to exclude all non-white people from voting in their primaries violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This episode looks at Gomillion v. Lightfoot (1960) a case that involved the gerrymandering of a district along racial lines. In the city of Tuskegee, the black population outnumbered the white population 4 to 1, and black people were increasingly registering to vote. This unnerved the white citizens who devised a plan to redraw the lines of the city from a square shape to a 28-side district that included all the white people, and only 4 or 5 black people. It essentially shut all black voters out of city politics. Prof. Charles G. Gomillion, who taught at Tuskegee Institute, filed this lawsuit to stop the city. After losing at the trial and appellate level, he appealed again to the US Supreme. Watch the video to find out what happened. If you like this episode, please be sure to rate and review us!

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, this week I discuss Hernandez v. Texas (1954). It was actually the first civil rights case decided by the Warren court; it was decided two weeks before Brown v. Board of Education. Pedro Hernandez, an American of Mexican descent was tried and convicted of murder by an all-white, non-Hispanic jury. At that time Mexicans were considered "white," but they were subjected to Jim Crow rule like Black Americans. His attorneys appealed his case to the Supreme Court. They argued that the systematic exclusion of Mexican Americans from the jury violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. His attorney Gus Garcia contended that Mexicans were "a class apart" from blacks and whites. **CORRECTION**: In the video, I stated that the plaintiffs did not see themselves as white. However, a more precise word would've been "Anglo," which is often conflated/used interchangeably with the word "white." Hernandez sought to distinguish Mexicans from the often conflated understanding of the word 'white' (ie white=Anglo), thereby creating a class a part, or a class of"other white.”…

This episode looks at Sweatt v. Painter (1950) a desegregation case decided four years before Brown v. Board of Education. Here, the court looked at whether the University of Texas Law School's segregation policy denied Sweatt Equal Protection of the law under the 14th Amendment because it failed to provide an alternative law school for blacks that was qualitatively equal to UT's law school. This case was an important to step towards the elimination of the separate but equal doctrine established by Plessy v. Ferguson.…

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This episode looks at the frequent occurrence where vibrant black cities and communities were destroyed during the early part of the 20th Century, either violently or through "legal" means. Here I focus on two black communities based in Florida that were destroyed during this period: Ocoee and Goldsboro. The black community in Ocoee was violently destroyed election night of 1920, and Goldsboro was destroyed when the Florida legislature abolished its charter and absorbed it into the city of Sanford. This ended with a case that went to the Florida Supreme Court.

Untold Stories: The Cases That Shaped the Civil Rights Movement

This episode looks at Guinn v. the United States, which dealt with voting rights and the use of the Grandfather Clause. One year after the state of Oklahoma was adopted into the union, it amended its constitution to require literacy tests for those wishing to register to vote. Oklahoma included a grandfather clause in the law that allowed those who couldn't pass the literacy test to still vote if they were able to vote on or before January 1, 1866, or if one of their ancestors (i.e. grandfather, father, etc.) OR if they or one of their ancestors were a citizen of a foreign nation on or before January 1, 1866. The Supreme Court had to decide if this Grandfather clause was constitutional or violated the 15th Amendment.

This episode is part 2 of the (in)famous Scottsboro Boys case, the case that inspired Harper Lee to write her beloved novel To Kill a Mockingbird. In 1931, nine black boys, ages 13-19, were arrested, tried, and convicted of the brutal rapes of two white women, Ruby Bates and Victoria Price. Eight of the nine men were sentenced to death before having their convictions overturned not once, but twice, by the U.S. Supreme Court.
