Charles Lawrence- "One More River To Cross"

Key Words- school, society, power, privilege, segregation, race

Author's Argument- The Supreme Court's decision to not act upon segregation in Detroit was wrong, because they didn't understand the true nature of segregation, and no one recognized the racism and inequality in the United States.

Evidence-""If one views the Brown case narrowly, as a case intended to desegregate the nation's schools, history has proven it a clear failure" p.281

Comments- I agree with Lawrence because we still see issues like this pop up everywhere and its a terrible thing to see happen in this day in age. and its something that future generations are going to have to deal with if we do not stop it right here right now.
