Kansas

Statewide: Kansas Bar Association | Lawrence: University of Kansas

Statewide: Kansas Bar Association

The Kansas Bar Association along with members of the bench created a 70-minute video, "Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka: The Case of the Century," and related teaching materials as a project for the 50th anniversary of the landmark decision. The video features a reenactment of the 1952 and 1953 oral arguments presented to the U. S. Supreme Court. The video will run continuously during an exhibit, Equal Education: The Fight, The Right May 1 - 30, at the Kansas History Center and Museum.

Copies of "The Case of the Century" are available at no cost to interested Kansas educators.

We currently stand at 200 orders from high schools, middle schools and libraries across the state.
