50 Years After Brown: The State of Black Equality In America is an assessment of the state of equality for Blacks in America, fifty years after the United States Supreme Court ruled America's nearly sixty year old practice of Jim Crow Segregation was illegal and to be banished from American society. Examining the 50th Anniversary of Brown versus The Board of Education of Topeka, KS, the case that successfully engaged the U.S. Supreme Court to give African Americans full protections under the 14th Amendment and rule "Separate but Equal" de jure segregation as unconstitutional serving as the backdrop, this book looks to assess what equality means in America and whether equality for Blacks has ever been achieved. 50 Years After Brown: The State of Black Equality In America analyzes the history of equality definitions in America, how equality was obtained, what the "privileges" of equality have been, and what were the conditions under which equality has been maintained. Analyzed in three sections, 50 Years After Brown: The State of Black Equality In America assesses the reoccurring challenges African Americans have faced, and still face, in their 225 year fight to receive equal benefits and equal protection under the law in the United States of America.
