  • Additional information

Although recent court cases have raised questions about its legacy, the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown decision was a key turning point in the history of segregation in America, and was the start of a long journey toward school desegregation that remains unfinished today. Viewers are shown the major cases, legal precedents, Supreme Court decisions, and key legislative acts that contributed to the right of non-white citizens to equal opportunity in education. The program also illustrates how a simple but courageous act by one little girl and her father brought this issue to a head.

“A solid resource for study of the civil rights movement.” - Booklist.
