Summary:

This critical contribution marks the fiftieth anniversary of Brown v.
Board of Education. The book lets the reader come to grips with the
fascinating record of a case in whichfacts have made a more thrilling
story than fiction. The suit involved civil rights giants, Thurgood
Marshall and the leaders of the NAACP. Their goals were lofty; not
content with merely improving the conditions for black children in a
single school district, they chose to fight for an end to all
segregation. They mapped out a careful strategy as early as 1939,
picking the most promising cases, achieving lower court decisions,
and finally combining the five cases for the countdown to Brown
before the Supreme Court. The book contains a general introduction
and extensive commentary. But it attempts for the most part to let
the majestic record of Brown speak for itself.
