School Integration: Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
The landmark Supreme Court decision in the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case of 1954 was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Striking down the toxic "separate but equal" doctrine that had long been upheld in the United States and calling for the desegregation of schools, the decision was a major step towards racial equality in the country. Readers will learn about this historic case, from its prelude to its aftermath and its ongoing significance in the present day. They will also be introduced to the individual actors courageous enough to stand up to racial injustice in the school system. Coinciding with the 60th anniversary of this landmark decision, this volume reminds us how far we've come and the barriers that still need to be overcome with respect to education equality.
