The authors attempt to tell the story of Brown and Parents Involved on educational inequality and connect these topics to economic competition globally. Brown came about in the 1950s in a much different environment: America was less diverse racially and ethnically, and economic competition on a global scale was less than in today's economy. Today, America's future is closely tied to the large pool of minority children enrolled in its public schools. The authors explore the return of more public schools to the neighborhood concept and how these schools may produce high-quality graduates. Finally, they examine how legal challenges may shift to school inequality within school districts away from challenges to inequality between school districts in the past.
