The first #SchoolDesegregation lawsuit was filed all the way back in 1848 by #BenjaminRoberts (represented by #CharlesSumner) on #ThisDayInHistory. Ultimately unsuccessful, the #SarahRoberts case in #Boston did lead to an 1855 law that #desegregated schools across Massachusetts.
It is unprecedented.
Let's give her a gutta percha cane and see how Johnson feels about Congressional precedent?

In 1850sUS, antislaveryvoters, including antislavery politicians, supported racially restrictive sufferage laws & had no interest in a multiracial democracy. #CharlesSumner: Every man is entitled to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness, whether black or white.
#CharlesSumner, MASenator: A politician in the service of a party cannot be trusted. Politics are my loathing. There is so much passion & so little principle: so much devotion to party & so little to country.
Representative Al Green wasnโt the first nor the only Congressman to wield a cane in defiance in Congressional history. The first time was, as you might guess, involved the issue of slavery. #algreen #algreencane #cane
