Children Legal Rights Journal Symposium

The Children Legal Rights Journal is excited to present Brown v. Board of Education – Seventy Years Later on November 1st, 2024, from 10:00am – 2:00pm.

The symposium will revolve around the 70th anniversary of the seminal Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and the continued impact that this pivotal case has on public education systems in the United States. Despite the monumental significance of Brown v. Board of Education, systematic racism persists within public education settings. Today, public schools remain strictly segregated along racial and socioeconomic lines, consistently disadvantaging students of color and students living in poverty. The symposium will explore the history of Brown v. Board of Education and its impact on the development of our education system over the past seventy years. Furthermore, the symposium will discuss the failures of our legal system in desegregating schools since the decision. Finally, the symposium will foster a comprehensive understanding of how to rethink funding, diversity, and access to equitable education within the public education system.

Lunch will be provided.
