A Dream Deferred
Richard, Alan
Teacher Magazine, v15 n6 p42-47 May-Jun 2004
In this article, the author explains why segregation still lives in Summerton, the town where the Brown v. Board of Education struggle began. The author traces the history of how the desegregation, which was court-ordered in 1970, has placed the students in Summerton still at a disadvantage. The Briggs v. Eliott case was the earliest of the five cases that has rolled into Brown v. Board of Education. In that particular case, Reverend De Laine asked farmer Levi Pearson to file a lawsuit demanding that the district pay for school bus repairs so that children in the outlying community of Davis Station would not have to walk seven miles to get to school. The author takes a look at some of the schools in Summerton that experience inequality, even after years since desegregation. These schools are Clarendon Hall, St. Paul Primary, and Scott's Branch High School.
