The Urge to Create Gated Communities
<p>It was less than two weeks after my birthday, nearly 70 years ago, on May 17, 1954, that Chief Justice Earl Warren <a href="https://www.masterclass.com/articles/desegregation-of-schools" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">issued a unanimous ruling of the Supreme Court that school segregation was inherently unconstitutional.</a> Thus ended nearly 60 years of “separate by equal” schooling that permitted separate schooling for Blacks that was anything but equal.</p>
<p><em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka</em> wasn’t the beginning of the end of segregation or racism; it was just one battle in an exhausting, seemingly never-ending series, ranging from microaggressions to murder with the jackboot of governmental authority on the neck of Black people in the streets.</p>
