Gray began his argument that segregation violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. He would present each of his plaintiffs, one by one. Mrs. Browder was first, then Susie McDonald and Mary Louise Smith. They all testified to their poor treatment and would not admit the prosecution's accusation that they were all King's puppets.
