https://charleshamiltonhouston.org/events/brown65/ On the 65th
anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, U.S. public schools and
neighborhoods are more racially segregated than they have been in
decades, while the country's racial wealth gap continues to widen.
These patterns of residential segregation and grossly disparate median
net worth are equally present and urgent in Boston on the 45th
anniversary of the city's school desegregation case, Morgan v.
Hennigan. This panel assembles litigators, organizers, and scholars to
reflect on Brown's legacy and critically examine both the limits and
promise of its remedies, nationally and in Boston.
