It was May 17, 1954, when a unanimous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court labeled racial segregation in public schools as unequal and unconstitutional.
On Friday’s special edition of “Closer Look,” show host Rose Scott spoke with guests about the Brown v. Board of Education decision, prevailing and systemic issues within school systems today, and the ongoing work to create change.
A professor also discusses efforts to better educate and equip teachers with the racial, pedagogical and content knowledge to engage in dialogue with students about racial issues.
Guests include:
First, Charles Black, the former chairman of the Atlanta Student Movement and current board chair of Freedom University
