shaundell's review against another edition
4.0
A very informative YA non-fiction book that presents background information about Thurgood Marshall and the five court cases which came together to create the U.S. Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education. An easy read and I learned quite a bit about this important time in American history. It is amazing that all 9 of the Supreme Court Justices votes unanimously to overturn segregation in the schools.
libraryjen's review against another edition
5.0
Full of pictures and very readable and engaging text, this book is a review of the cases, plaintiffs, and attorneys involved in the Supreme Court cases to end segregation in America's public schools. A timeline, brief summaries of the relevant cases, the text of the 14th Amendment, the text of the SCOTUS decision in Brown v. Board of Education, a bibliography, source notes, and an index are all included. I enjoyed it.
Highly recommended as an introduction to the subject for middle/high school students.
