The document discusses the case of Tekle v. United States, focusing on the excessive use of force and unreasonable detention of an eleven-year-old boy, Ephraim Tekle, during a police search warrant execution. The author, Claudia Arias, argues that the police officers violated Tekle's Fourth Amendment rights by using excessive force—pointing guns at him and handcuffing him for an extended period—without justification. The analysis compares this case to relevant precedents, highlighting the need for accountability in law enforcement actions and suggesting that the officers should not be granted qualified immunity due to their unconstitutional conduct.

What were some laws that discriminated against African Americans prior to 1940?

Black codes and Jim Crow laws were laws passed at different periods in the southern United States to enforce racial segregation and curtail the power of Black voters. After the Civil War ended in 1865, some states passed black codes that severely limited the rights of Black people, many of whom had been enslaved.

How were African Americans treated in the 1940s?

In much of America in the 1940s, racial segregation was strictly enforced, both by Jim Crow laws and by age-old custom. The civil rights movement was still in its infancy. Laws ensuring voting rights and equal access to jobs and public facilities were decades away.

What was the 1964 black law?

This act, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964, prohibited discrimination in public places, provided for the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal. It was the most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction.

What happened in 1969 for black people?
