50 Years After Brown: The Continuing Challenge
In partnership with Fred Friendly Seminars and the National Constitution Center, the American Bar Association Brown Commission will conduct a public seminar focusing on Brown v. Board of Education. The program will be held at the National Constitution Center's Kirby Auditorium at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 29, 2004. Broadcast partner WHYY-Philadelphia will film the discussion for national distribution on public television as a one-hour television program. It will also be distributed on videocassette and DVD by the American Bar Association for school, community, and home viewing.

The program will feature a moderated panel discussion by experts in various fields responding to hypothetical scenarios constructed around legal, ethical, and public policy issues emanating from Brown. Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, who chairs the ABA Brown Commission, will moderate the program. Since 1990 Prof. Ogletree has moderated dozens of similar programs, many of which have been nationally televised on PBS. The program will be presented to a live audience of lawyers, judges, bar leaders, educators, and the general public.

This event is free and open to the public. To reserve a seat in the auditorium, call the National Constitution Center at (215) 409-6700.
