TV American Experience - Season 5 Episode 8 : Simple Justice American Experience - Season 5 Episode 8 : Simple Justice 6.6/10 by 43 users Thirty years after the Supreme Court's "separate but equal" ruling, lawyer Charles Hamilton took over Howard University's rundown, segregated law school with the idea of training a cadre of elite African American lawyers to legally eradicate segregation, case by case, state by state.
