The Civil Rights Project: "Brown at 50: King's Dream
or the Plessy
Nightmare," by Professor Gary Orfield and research associate
Chungmei
Lee, considers changes in the country and in the districts directly
affected by Brown. It also examines a decade of resegregation
from the
Supreme Court's Dowell v. Oklahoma City (1991) decision, which
authorized a return to segregated neighborhood schools, through
the
2001-2002 school year and provides new information on the changes
in
schools where desegregation plans have ended. The data analyzed
covers
the vast majority of American schools. From the Civil Rights Project
at
Harvard University. [http://www.civilrightsproject.harvard.edu/research/reseg04/brown50.pdf]
