Ward v. Flood  

Definición

  • Ward v. Flood, decided by the Supreme Court of California in January 1874, is a case that arose when an 11-year-old African American student in San Francisco, Mary Frances Ward, was denied admission to her local school because of her race. She and her guardian ad litem sought a writ of mandamus to compel Noah Flood, the principal of Broadway Grammar School, a White public school, to admit her.
