Hale v. Kentucky, 303 U.S. 613 (1938), was a United States Supreme Court case relating to racial discrimination in the selection of juries for criminal trials. The case overturned the conviction of an African American man accused of murder because the lower court of Kentucky had systematically excluded African Americans from serving on the jury in the case.[1] NAACP counsel, including Charles H. Houston, Leon A. Ransom and Thurgood Marshall, represented Hale.[1]
