520    In 1945, six African American families from St. Louis, 
       Detroit, and Washington, D.C., began a desperate fight to 
       keep their homes. Each of them had purchased a property 
       that prohibited the occupancy of African Americans and 
       other minority groups through the use of legal instruments
       called racial restrictive covenants-one of the most 
       pervasive tools of residential segregation in the 
       aftermath of World War II. Over the next three years, 
       local activists and lawyers at the NAACP fought through 
       the nation's courts  to end the enforcement of these 
       discriminatory contracts.   Unjust Deeds explores the 
       origins  and complex legacies of their dramatic campaign, 
       culminating in a landmark Supreme Court victory in Shelley
       v. Kraemer (1948). Restoring this story to its proper 
       place in the history of the black freedom struggle, 
       Jeffrey D. Gonda's groundbreaking study provides a 
       critical vantage point to the simultaneously personal, 
       local, and national dimensions of legal activism in the 
       twentieth century and offers a new understanding of the 
       evolving legal fight against Jim Crow in neighborhoods and
       courtrooms across America.
