In plain English, Kruger details the backstories of the 5 desegregation cases bundled together as Brown v Board of Education through the Warren court‘s landmark 1954 decision. The struggle for desegregation follows a positive trend, climaxing with the court‘s unanimous decision. Events subsequent to the decision are also detailed, as the Nixon and Reagan administrations and Rehnquist court dismantled much of the Brown v Board finding.

An 800 page in-depth look at Brown v. Board of Education. I read this book before starting law school and it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the civil rights movement and the strategies used to bring cases to the Supreme Court. #funfridayphoto #morethan500pages. It is also set at least partially in Kansas where I lived for 7 years. #readjanuary
