Description

The landmark case Brown v. Board of Education helped dismantle de jure segregation in the South and for a time the dream of creating racially integrated schools via mandatory busing became a reality. Now we find that segregation is making a come-back (Orfield, 2001). Currently, there are public schools where the student population is predominantly poor minority. It is imperative, therefore, that all citizens scrutinize closely the actions and decisions rendered by the Justices of today's United States Supreme Court because historically, the Court has either served to improve the quality of life afforded to people of color, or it has hampered the struggle of minorities to eradicate racial and ethnic disparities. Despite the Court's decision to support affirmative action, we need to remind the Court that its role is to help improve the quality of all people living in this country and that it cannot afford to forget the difficulties that minority groups have encountered in the past when cases of racial and ethnic disparities in education were first reviewed by the United States Supreme Court. If we allow today's Court to forget the educational and economic disparities that exist in our society, the Justices may deliver racially and ethnically insensitive decisions that some of their predecessors rendered in previous decades, notably the Taft Court. In short, history may repeat itself. Therefore, it is prudent that we examine earlier cases that first brought the issue of racial and ethnic disparities in education to light before the Court. Doing so may assist us as we seek to remain focused on the efforts to keep the struggle for racial and ethnic equality alive.
