Brown
Vs.
Board Of Education A Theatrical Commemoration of the Ruling's 50th Anniversary Brown vs. Board of Education: On May 17, 1954 the United States Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision that it was unconstitutional, violating the 14th amendment, to separate children in public schools for no other reason than their race. The final decision did not abolish segregation in other public areas, such as restaurants and restrooms, nor did it require desegregation of public schools by a specific time. But it did declare the permissive or mandatory segregation that existed in 21 states as unconstitutional. It was a tremendous move towards desegregation and for civil rights, nationwide.Starring Mike Wiley, this one-man performance recounts the court case, decision, and consequences of the landmark ruling: "Brown vs. Board of Education". Wiley seamlessly transforms himself into multiple characters to speak about the ruling from different perspectives. NCAE commissioned the original ten minute version of the play, with assistance from its parent organization - NEA (National Education Association). |
