Brown at 60: Great Progress, a Long Retreat and an Uncertain Future

Authors: Gary Orfield and Erica Frankenberg, with Jongyeon Ee and John Kuscera
UCLA’s Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles,  May 15, 2014

“Brown was a major accomplishment and we should rightfully be proud. But a real celebration should also involve thinking seriously about why the country has turned away from the goal of Brown and accepted deepening polarization and inequality in our schools.  It is time to stop celebrating a version of history that ignores our last quarter century of retreat and begin to make new history by finding ways to apply the vision of Brown in a transformed, multiracial society in another century.”
