在美國，法律保障受審人將由「一群由同儕組成的陪審團」聽取其案件。而同儕意指那些跟您相似的人；所以，如果因為種族因素而將特定組織中的人排除在外，則無法召集一群由同儕組成的陪審團。

杜博斯在NAACP中扮演了一個重要的角色。1945年，正值聯合國創建時期，他代表了位於加州舊金山的協會本身。在那時期，NAACP成功的說服總統結束僱聘及服役的種族歧視。該協會也自一開始的 60人，擴大成為今日擁有超過 500,000 名會員的浩大組織。而它的總部位在馬里蘭州的巴爾的摩港市。NAACP的律師群中，最著名的一位是後來成為美國第一位黑人大法官的瑟古德馬歇爾 (Thurgood Marshall) 。


In the United States, people who are put on trial are guaranteed to have their cases heard by a "jury of their peers." Your peers are people who are similar to you. So excluding certain groups of people because of their race will not result in a jury of one's peers.

Du Bois played an important role in the NAACP. In 1945 he represented the association in San Francisco, California, during the establishment of the United Nations. Over the years, the NAACP has persuaded presidents to end racial discrimination in hiring and military service. The organization grew from 60 people to a membership of more than 500,000 today. Its headquarters is in Baltimore, Maryland. One of the most famous lawyers for the NAACP was Thurgood Marshall, who later became a Supreme Court justice himself.
