Commemoration
Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), ostensibly "ending" school segregation. Articles abound for those interested.
Personally, I can't help but question to what extent the dream of Brown has become a reality and ponder what the case's legacy actually is (or will be). In other words, 50 years later and much remains to be done.
