OBAMA CIVIL RIGHTS

Democratic presidential hopeful U.S. Senator Barack Obama speaks in front of the historic Clarendon County Courthouse Friday Nov. 2, 2007 in Manning, S.C. during a community gathering. In the 1950s the courthouse was where the lawsuit Briggs v. Elliott was filed to desegregate public schools. The lawsuit was the first of four suits that would later lead to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning racial segregation in U.S. public schools. (AP Photo/Stephen Morton)
