Got a link to this website in class last week.
Really interesting info

Click on the title above or here

One of the instructors for the class I got this from when to a conference that Cheryl Brown Henderson spoke (daughter of "BROWN v. ...")

1. The case is misunderstood, the media wrote the history
2. Brown was teh 12th school segregation case in the state of Kansas
3. One reason for the Brown decision was how the U.S. was viewed by other world powers (i.e. USSR). Claimed the U.S. had no moral authority since they oppressed blacks within their own country
4. Rev. Oliver Brown was the tenth person recruited to created the case, he was the only male in the suit, hence the name "Brown v. Board of Ed"
5. And most interesting to me: The school environments in Topeka were equal. Schools were just as nice, the faculty at the black school had more degrees
