Brown V. Board of Education: A Civil Rights Milestone and Its Troubled Legacy Paperback - 2002
by James T. Patterson
IPatterson shrewdly explores provocative issues that still swirl around "Brown v. Board of Education," including whether the decision touched off the modern civil rights movement and how useful court-ordered busing and affirmative action have been in removing racial segregation. 36 photos.
Summary
Many people were elated when Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in May 1954, the ruling that struck down state-sponsored racial segregation in America's public schools. Thurgood Marshall, chief attorney for the black families that launchedthe litigation, exclaimed later, "I was so happy, I was numb." The novelist Ralph Ellison wrote, "another battle of the Civil War has been won. The rest is up to us and I'm very glad. What a wonderful world of possibilities are unfolded for the children!" Here, in a concise, compelling narrative, Bancroft Prize-winning historian James T. Patterson takes readers through the dramatic case and its fifty-year aftermath...
First line
Listening to black people who dared publicly to challenge racism-and to optimistic white liberals-in the 1940s and early 1950s, we can see how they imagined the approach of a new, more egalitarian world of race relations in the United States: A black American corporal, 1945: I spent four years in the Army to free a bunch of Dutchmen and Frenchmen, and I'm hanged if I'm going to let the Alabama version of the Germans kick me around when I get home.
