Thoughts on “Brown as a Cold War case”

The Brown v. Board of Education case is of the biggest pillars in African Americans efforts to gain and establish basic civil rights in America. I found this article on the case and the time period it took place to be one of the most interesting I’ve read this year. It opened up my opinion and made me question whether the desegregation of public schools was really authentic or was it  to prove that America is a true model of democracy in time where it was competing as THE global super power. It asks the question: Was the verdict meant for true change or just a to put on a false face that the government actually cared about the advancement of all who are citizens of America and is different from a country such as their rival at the time the U.S.S.R.?
