Brown and Its Legacy: A Student Dialogue
This program is being held at Wayne State University in Detroit on Thursday, March 24-25, 2004. To engage students in a discussion about Brown v. Board of Education, lawyers and judges will visit high school classes in Detroit and two adjacent counties to lead discussions about Brown. Then representatives from those classes will assemble to discuss the subject in a televised exchange with community leaders, including ABA President Dennis Archer. That activity will be followed by a daylong, multi-disciplinary academic symposium dedicated to the Brown decisions and their impact, conducted under ABA Brown Commission auspices in conjunction with the National Bar Association and Wayne State University. A reception and dinner will be held on March 24. ABA President Dennis Archer, Commission member Judge Damon Keith, noted author Peter Irons, and journalist/historian Roger Wilkins will be among those participating.
