Remembering Brown at Fifty: The University of Illinois Commemorates Brown v. Board of Education Paperback – November 1, 2009
Purchase options and add-ons
Inspired by the University of Illinois's celebration of the Brown v. Board of Education decision's fiftieth anniversary, this collection addresses the significance of Brown in the contributors' lives or work in education and civil rights. Several authors describe their personal roles in the Brown case or similar cases, while others examine and illustrate events, performances, and exhibitions that were part of the anniversary commemoration. The book not only explores the repercussions of the Brown decision, but also stands as a historic document in its own right, preserving the reactions of many prominent intellectuals, artists, and activists fifty years after the decision.

Banks, Bernice McNair Barnett, Christopher Benson, Ed Blankenheim, Julian Bond, Orville Vernon Burton, Jason Chambers, Constance Curry, Joseph A. De Laine Jr., Mary L. Dudziak, Joe R.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Reveals that Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a major victory in the struggle for social justice and justifiably deserving of much celebration."--H-Net Reviews
"A valuable book that serves as both a fitting tribute and a careful examination of the Brown v. Board of Education decision after a half century. The touching and moving recollections help us understand the human impact the Brown case had on the 'ordinary' folks."--William C. Hine, coauthor of The African-American Odyssey
