*Following his break with Elijah Muhammad, head of the Black Muslims, Malcolm X launched the Organization of Afro-American Unity (patterned after the Organization of African Unity). He said its basic aim was “to lift the whole freedom struggle from civil rights to the level of human rights, and also to work with any other organization and any other leader toward that end.”1

*Interest in protecting blacks from continued assertions of white domination in the South had already waned by the time of the Hayes-Tilden compromise of 1877. Thus, the Republicans, to ensure the election of their candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes, in a disputed presidential election, were more than ready to agree to a compromise in which, among other things, they promised Democrats both to remove all remaining federal troops from the southern states and not to intervene further in “political affairs” in those states.2

*Legal realism has been seen as principally based in Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.’s, fifty-year battle against legal formalism.3 The political Progressive movement, concerned with social welfare legislation and administrative regulation, helped push realism beyond Holmes.4
