When the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the decision in Brown V. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, it set in motion a train of events that has changed the country and affected every citizen. It destroyed American apartheid and enriched the society. It also brought the nation a sobering dose of racial reality that foreshadows a long, painful and expensive struggle if its people are ever to free themselves of the enduring destruction and anguish. The case was ultimately about much more than education. To understand its full impact, one has to remember what this country was like before the decision.
