The 60th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Ed in the Shadow of 'School Choice'

[Jefferson23]

1. Does this OP not resonate with anyone?? From PBS, Cheryl Brown Henderson:

Nine-year-old African-American student Linda Brown — seen at the first desk in second row from right — sits with her classmates at the racially segregated Monroe Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas, in 1953. When her enrollment at a “whites-only” school was blocked, her family initiated the landmark Civil Rights lawsuit “Brown V. Board of Education,” that led to the beginning of integration in the U.S. education system. Photo by Carl Iwasaki/Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images.

snip*Sixty years later, the question of how far the nation has come in eliminating segregated education and increasing opportunity is not a simple one.
