  • The U.S. Supreme Court decided Nixon v. Condon, ruling that political parties did not have the right to determine who could vote in a primary election to determine the political candidates. On March 7, 1927, the Court had ruled in Nixon v. Herndon that a Texas law that had provided that "in no event shall a negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic party primary election held in the State of Texas" was unconstitutional. The state legislature then passed a new law leaving the matter to the political parties themselves. Dr. Lawrence A. Nixon, an African American physician who had been barred from the 1924 primary, challenged the new law after having been barred from the 1928 primary.
