May 17, 2004 marks the 50th anniversary of the United States
Supreme Court decision that unanimously held that racial
segregation of public schools violated the 14th Amendment.
The legacy of the Brown decision lives in numerous public
events, discussions and programs hosted by WILL and the
University of Illinois. Beyond Brown explored the
significance of this historic decision, the goals achieved and
