Episode 18: In the Matter of Ralph: Iowa's First Civil Rights Case

Posted on February 22, 2022 at 12:00 AM by Marissa Gaal

In recognition of Black History Month, this episode will be covering the first case heard by our state’s supreme court, back when Iowa was still a territory. Iowa has a long-standing history of upholding civil rights, often preceding federal civil rights laws by decades. Iowa’s first cast, In the Matter of Ralph, was also its first civil rights case.
