Ten Hurdles to Brown’s School Desegregation Mission

Abstract

The present article probes into ten (10) key hurdles to the landmark verdict in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), commonly referred to as Brown. Being the goad to the American schools' desegregation movement, Brown raises the issue of whether it is to be held accountable for the failure of ensuing public education integration endeavors. This article delves into the subsequent probing question: what were the dissimilar impediments that hindered Brown's mission? In fact, the school desegregation efficiency to level out racial discrepancies in extremely isolated black schools is intimately coupled with the very Supreme Court pronouncement, with the dedication of the federal government to the implementation of Brown's lofty order, and also with a number of extra forces that surpass Brown's scope.
