Praise for The Unfinished Agenda of Brown V. Board of Education
"My father, Oliver L. Brown, for whom Brown v. Board of
Education is named, was a proud member of a group of a few hundred
people, across the country, who took risks by taking a stand for
what they believed. He died in 1961, just seven years after the
case, so he didn't live long enough to know that Brown would become
the foundation on which so much of this country's civil and human
rights initiatives would rest.
Brown v. Board became important for every citizen, not just
African Americans. It shows that the founding documents of our
country provided us with sovereign rights that cannot be restricted
by state and local governments. That decision impacted the lives of
women, persons with disabilities, blacks, whites, Hispanics,
Asians, and everyone living in this country.
Brown was significant in attacking the silence. It opened up a
dialogue and forced the country to take on greater responsibility;
we at every level had to start addressing the issue of race. In
many ways, once the dialogue started, we finally began to under
stand the depths of racism. This case was about gaining access to
educational resources; the resources were and remain where the
white children are. The Unfinished Agenda of Brown v. Board of
Education is about renewing and continuing the promise of
Brown."
-Cheryl Brown Henderson, president of the Brown Foundation for
Educational Equity, Excellence, and Research, and daughter of
Oliver L. Brown, one of the thirteen plaintiffs in Brown v. Board
of Education
