Abstract
This article proposes that four major educational developments resulted from the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka: Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I and Title VII, school finance, affirmative action, and multicultural education. Each of these major efforts was targeted to overcome discriminatory practices produced in large part by school segregation, specifically: inequality of treatment, inequity of resources, denial of access, and stereotyping and denigration of culture.
