ABOUT THIS BOOK
The author describes the course of events and the educational results in the five school districts whose litigation was consolidated for the Supreme Court's landmark decision on desegregation, Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Instead of fostering better race relations and improved academic performance, Wolters argues, the attempt to integrate the nation's  schools has been a tragic failure.
