Distinguished thinkers discuss the state of public school integration todayPublished in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Brown v.

Contributors-black, white, Asian, and Hispanic-include civil rights activist and jurist Derrick Bell, noted journalist Juan Williams, Harvard Law School professor Charles Ogletree, and NPR's Tavis Smiley, who provides an introduction and thoughtful commentary on each essay.
