Recensione

"A valuable book that serves as both a fitting tribute and a careful examination of the Brown v. Board of Education decision after a half century. The touching and moving recollections help us understand the human impact the Brown case had on the 'ordinary' folks." --William C. Hine, coauthor of The African-American Odyssey
