Jim Crow's Children: The Broken Promise of the Brown Decision

Jim Crow's Children: The Broken Promise of the Brown Decision

In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court sounded the death knell for school segregation with its decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. So goes the conventional wisdom. Weaving together vivid portraits of lawyers and such judges as Thurgood Marshall and Earl Warren, sketches of numerous black children throughout history whose parents joined lawsuits against Jim Crow schools, and gripping courtroom drama scenes, Irons shows how the erosion of the Brown decisionâ‚¬"especially by the Courtâ‚¬s rulings over the past three decadesâ‚¬"has led to the â‚¬Å“resegregationâ‚¬Â of public education in America.
