'Struggle Not Over'

摘要

The landmark school desegregation case decided by the Supreme Court in 1954 was only the beginning of the civil rights struggle that must endure, concluded two of the principal architects of the Brown v. Board of Education case during a Library discussion on Nov. 9. "The Brown decision has been touted as a great change in American life," observed Judge Robert L. Carter. "But we're still living in a society of white supremacy and black subordination." "We must connect the dots between the early struggle in the courts and the later struggle in the streets," said historian John Hope Franklin, who worked with Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to craft the Brown v. Board case.
