"This book does a wonderful job of bringing history to life by revealing the human stories behind the Supreme Court's famous decision. Each contribution offers a rich and textured picture of how "Brown" touched individual lives, prompting hope, fear, courage, and despair."--Rachel F. Moran, author of "Interracial Intimacy: The Regulation of Race and Romance"
