On May 17, 2004, the nation marks the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. ABA President Dennis Archer has established a 17-member Commission on the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, chaired by Harvard Law professor Charles Ogletree. This ABA Commission is developing a variety of programs and resources, including this website, to commemorate this landmark Supreme Court decision. On this website, you'll find a selected listing of annotated Brown resources, including a bibliography of books and articles, court cases, films & videos, lessons for use with students, and links to other websites, as well as public education resources from the ABA. We invite lawyers, judges, teachers, civic leaders, and the general public to visit this site often for updates. Our programs and events page will contain a listing of events occurring throughout the country. Check back often to see what's being planned in your area. If your organization is planning to commemorate the Brown decision, let us know about your project.
