I did basically a nice single-'graph stub followed by an ugly 3-'graph dump job. The obvious fix is to move the 3 'graphs to this page and wait, but hopefully someone with a little more background can supplement the materials i've provided & make a better article than i could.

A colleague has done a nice job of making prose out of the materials i dumped, but i've moved the Brown v. material:

== Brown v. Board of Education ==

Greenberg argued on behalf of the NAACP the famous Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. This historic case lead to the U.S. Supreme Court decision which outlawed racial segregation in U.S. public schools in 1955.

Greenberg, along with Louis Redding, argued Gebhart v. Belton (Court citation:33 Del. Ch. 144), one of the four cases that were combined into Brown v. Board of Education. Gebhart was originally filed in Delaware and was originally litigated under a strategy formulated by Robert L. Carter of the NAACP. Greenberg had assisted Carter at the original hearing of Brown.

(BTW, i unlk-ed the hdg, here, in conformity w/ WP style for articles.)

It may contain the start of a good section on Greenberg's contrib, but at this point it is just a redundant reorg of the Gebhart v. Belton article (which IMO should stay independent & be expanded w/ non-Greenberg-specific material) & IMO more of a barrier to drawing forth a Greenberg-centered mention of NAACP-sponsored litigation.

Text removed 22 December 2005

The following text was added to the article by an anonymous user (IP: 68.36.86.137) on October 29, 2005. It was added below the stubs and categories and presented some formatting problems, but because it wasn't NPOV and goes a little overboard on his family history, I decided to remove it from the article and place it here. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 16:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Film

There has been a film announced regarding Jack's life, possibly starring Topher Grace & Terrence Howard (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418277/) I'm new to wikipedia and not clear on editing; once I'm up to date I'll have a crack at this article if noone else has already.

Yes, it's Topher Grace ... Topher Grace. Not Tobey Maguire. I don't know who it is who keeps inserting Tobey Maguire into this, but I've reverted it. Check IMDB, whoever you are. It's not Tobey Maguire in the film. It's Topher Grace. Yeshuamyking7 (talk) 20:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ORIGINALLY IT WAS TO BE TOPHER GRACE. LATER IT WAS SWITCHED TO TOBEY MAGUIRE. IN ANY CASE, THE FILM HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE, AND MAY NEVER BE.
