Brown
v. Board of Education Audio File
Fifty years ago, the landmark court
decision, Brown v. Board of Education, held that everyone
deserves an equal opportunity to learn. State courts across the United
States, however, are beginning to realize that young people in poor
communities in urban and rural areas do not, and have not, had the same
access to a quality public education as children in schools located in
wealthier communities. Now it is time for our nation to bring out the
spirit of Brown in its education policy.
Listen to Congressman Fattah's message about his number one legislative
priority, HR 236 - Student Bill of Rights. Find out how this
legislation can help bring the Brown decision to life, and how
you can spread the word about this bill!
