Abstract | In this article, the author discusses the 50th Anniversary Commission of the "Brown v. Board of Education" that draws both praise and criticism from nationally prominent figures in education, civil rights, and government--including its own commissioners. As the federal commission commemorates the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing racial segregation in public schools on May 17 in Topeka, Kansas, assessments of its accomplishments range from glowing to disappointing. Some credit the panel with raising public awareness of the cases from Delaware, Kansas, South Carolina, and Virginia that were decided collectively in "Brown," along with a companion case from the nation's capital, and with sparking dialogue about racial disparities that persist in public schools. Others complain that it has little impact. (ERIC). |
