The chapters presented here provide the reader with an awareness of
the divergent views of what constitutes racism and frameworks for
reducing it. This book points out that the dialogue and research on
this subject since the mid-1970s have yielded increased contro
versy over the theories, foundation, and continued existence of
racism. Ironically, what we viewed in the 1954Brown decision and
the Civil Rights Act of 1964as the beginning of the end of racism
turned out to be the beginning of confusion over the course of
action to ensure societal acceptance of political mandates. Hence,
the title of this book captures the essence of the emotional core
of any forum for examining racism, past and present. One of the
most controversial forums has been that ofeducation, beginning with
the D.S. Supreme Court's 1954ruling in Brown v. Board oi Education.
Behind every event that has spawned controversy is a profile in
courage. It was not a simple decision for the players in the
scenario of the Brown v. Board oi Education case to step forward
and present themselves as evidence of discrimination. Blackparents
supported by black organizations viewed this legal action as a
chance for equal opportunity. Yet, the 1950s were a time when black
communities were pained by the thought that bigotry and
institutional racism would forever stand in the way of their
achieving equality."
