Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas\u003c\/i\u003e (1954) is regarded as one of the most significant civil rights moments in American history. Historical observers have widely viewed this landmark Supreme Court decision as a significant sign of racial progress for African Americans. However, there is another historical perspective that tells a much more complex tale of Black resistance to the NAACP's decision to pursue desegregating America's public schools. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis multifaceted history documents the intra-racial conflict among Black Topekans over the city's segregated schools. Black resistance to school integration challenges conventional narratives about \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e by highlighting community concerns about economic and educational opportunities for Black educators and students and Black residents' pride in all-Black schools. This history of the local story behind \u003ci\u003eBrown v. Board\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to a literature that provides a fuller and more complex perspective on African Americans and their relationship to Black education and segregated schools during the Jim Crow era.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52589046006040,"sku":"9781469681641","price":60.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/blacks-against-brown-the-intra-racial-struggle-over-segregated-schools-in-topeka-kansas-hardback-9781469681641","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
