Definición

  • The 1932 case of Powell v. State of Alabama was the first of three U.S. Supreme Court cases (Powell; Patterson v. State of Alabama, 1935; and Norris v. State of Alabama, 1935) that arose as a result of events beginning on March 25, 1931, in Alabama. Nine African American males ranging in age from 13 to 20 were arrested for allegedly raping two White females, Victoria Price and Ruby Bates, while hopping a ride without fare on a train through Alabama on its way to Tennessee.
