Grant, Marquis C., Ed. – IGI Global, 2018
Equality and equity are often mischaracterized as interchangeable terms in public education. This may explain why efforts towards reform and restructure are often not met with any real measure of success. "Equity, Equality, and Reform in Contemporary Public Education" provides emerging research on the reformation of education curriculum…

Ford, Chris; Johnson, Stephenie; Partelow, Lisette – Center for American Progress, 2017
The issue brief centers on the measures taken by Prince Edward County, Virginia, who shut down their public schools for five years in the late 1950s and early 1960s rather than desegregate the public schools after the "Brown v.

The United States Congress' Southern Congressional Delegation promulgated the Declaration of Constitutional Principles, popularly known as the Southern Manifesto, on March 12, 1956.

Tienda, Marta – Educational Researcher, 2017
Building on the premise that closing achievement gaps is an economic imperative both to regain international educational supremacy and to maintain global economic competitiveness, I ask whether it is possible to rewrite the social contract so that education is a fundamental right--a statutory guarantee--that is both uniform across states and…

Fenwick, Leslie T. – Harvard Education Press, 2022
"Jim Crow's Pink Slip" exposes the decades-long repercussions of a too-little-known result of resistance to the "Brown v. Board of Education" decision: the systematic dismissal of Black educators from public schools. In 1954, the Supreme Court's "Brown" decision ended segregated schooling in the United States, but…

Watson, Terri N. – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2020
The recent calls to desegregate New York City's public schools reify the fact that equity, social justice, and access to meaningful schooling continue to be a significant problem for Black and Hispanic children and their families, especially those who reside in urban communities. In this historiography I utilise a Black feminist perspective to…

Donato, Rubén; Hanson, Jarrod – American Educational Research Journal, 2017
This article examines the emergence of Mexican American school segregation from 1915 to 1935 in Kansas, the state that gave rise to "Brown v. Board of Education" in 1954.

Frankenberg, Erica; Hawley, Genevieve Siegel; Ee, Jongyeon; Orfield, Gary – Civil Rights Project - Proyecto Derechos Civiles, 2017
The South was the central focus of the "Brown v. Board of Education" decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954. The landmark ruling held that laws mandating segregation in the school systems of the eleven states of the Old Confederacy, along with D.C. and six other states, violated the U.S. Constitution. Intense opposition met the…

Rivkin, Steven – Education Next, 2016
"Equality of Educational Opportunity," also known as the Coleman Report, sought answers to two burning questions: (1) How extensive is racial segregation within U.S. schools?; and (2) How adversely does that segregation affect educational opportunities for black students? In answering the first question, James S. Coleman and his…
