Board of Education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore the Supreme Court declared segregated public schools unconstitutional, before Thurgood Marshall became the public face of the legal victory, Houston was shaping the strategy, training the lawyers, documenting inequality, and exposing the lie at the heart of \"separate but equal.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA World War I veteran, Harvard-trained attorney, Howard University law professor, and NAACP strategist, Houston understood that segregation was not merely custom or prejudice. It was legal architecture.
