Although the Supreme Court ruled as long ago as 1880 that Blacks could not be excluded outright from jury service, nearly a century of case-by-case adjudication has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be drawn from "a fair cross section of the community".

看看这个帖子能不能帮助你理解。
尽管最高法院早在1880年的时候就已经指出黑人不得被排除在陪审团之外,然而关于所有陪审成员都必须从社区中公平而有代表性地选取这一原则却是经过了将近一个世纪的案件裁决之后才发展和落实下来的.
hope it helps...
