In 1954 the Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education; ten years later, Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act. This interdisciplinary volume commemorates these monumental developments in text written by leading scholars in law, education, and public policy, as well as important historical figures. Taken together, the chapters trace the narrative arc of school desegregation in the United States and assess the status of racial and ethnic equality in education today.
