What is Jim Crow's Children : The Broken Promise of the Brown Decision about?
**Peter Irons, acclaimed historian and author of __A People History of the Supreme Court__, explores of one of the supreme court's most important decisions and its disappointing aftermath**In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court sounded the death knell for school segregation with its decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. So goes the conventional wisdom. Weaving together vivid portraits of lawyers and such judges as Thurgood Marshall and Earl Warren, sketches of numerous black children throughout history whose parents joined lawsuits against Jim Crow schools, and gripping courtroom drama scenes, Irons shows how the erosion of the Brown decision—especially by the Court’s rulings over the past three decades—has led to the “resegregation” of public education in America.
