The episode is a major incident in the history of school desegregation in the United States. The case Crandall v. State was \"the first full-throated civil rights case in U.S. history.... The Crandall case [in which a key issue was whether blacks were citizens] helped influence the outcome of two of the most fateful Supreme Court decisions, Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857[] and...Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.\""@en . "--09-10"^^ . . "Enemies"@en . . "Prudence Crandall, her sister Almira Crandall, Samuel May, William Burleigh"@en . . .
