Brown v. Board of Education: Integrating America's Schools
Library Binding
(Chelsea House Pub (Library) Nov. 1, 2006)
Today, integration is as much a part of America's public school system as Friday night football and the senior prom. But the United States has not always opened the doors of its schools to all races. School integration occurred through the tireless efforts of countless men and women who took their ideals and dreams about America and what it represents and worked to make them not only the law of the land, but acceptable to the vast majority of citizens. Brown v. Board of Education: Integrating America's Schools is the story of one of the most important Supreme Court decisions of the 20th century. This book is an in-depth chronicle of the relentless legal campaign launched by the NAACP and a persistent black lawyer named Thurgood Marshall, and how it changed history forever.
