Heart of Atlanta Motel v. U.S. (1964)

  • サマリー

  • 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.
