The Unfinished Agenda of Brown v. Board of Education

A biweekly magazine with 40,000 subscribers, Black Issues publishes on minority issues in education from a variety of perspectives. This collection includes essays from Ogletree and Bell (whose full-length efforts are reviewed above), as well as from Washington Post columnist Juan Williams, Howard University professor of linguistics Richard L. Wright and NPR talk show host Tavis Smiley, among others. A contributor to the preface is John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor of speech, theatre and media studies Dara N. Byrne. Together, they cover the documentary history of Brown, its language, the attorneys who litigated it, the ""psyche"" it has helped produce in the U.S., as well as ways of ""Renewing Our Commitment.""
