EDGE 2021 APUSH BRANLIEST Read the excerpt from author Walter Dean Myers about the significance of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case.
In Brown vs. Board of Education Thurgood Marshall, Kenneth B. Clark, and the lawyers and social scientists, both black and white, who helped them had won for African Americans a victory that would bring them closer to full equality than they had ever been in North America. There would still be legal battles to be won, but the major struggle would be in the hearts and minds of people and ‘in that gap between law and custom.’
