Legal Experts Rewrite America's Landmark Civil Rights Decision Brown v Board of Education, the Supreme Court's landmark 1954 decision ordering the desegregation of America's public schools, is perhaps the most famous case in American constitutional law. Criticized at first, it became a venerated symbol of equality and civil rights. Yet, its meaning remains contested. In this volume, nine of America's top constitutional and civil rights experts rewrite the Brown decision as they would like it to have been written, making use only of the sources available at the time of the original decision, but incorporating what they know about the subsequent history of the United States. Their positions will surprise you. Contributors include: Bruce Ackerman, Jack M Balkin, Derrick A. Bell, Drew S. Days, John Hart Ely, Catharine A. MacKinnon, Michael W. McConnell, Frank I Michelman, and Cass R. Sunstoin.
