Prevailing upon the American Dream: Thurgood Marshall and Brown v. Board of Education.
Vasillopulos, Christopher
Journal of Negro Education, v63 n3 p289-96 Sum 1994
Analyzes Thurgood Marshall's role as a critical jurist, especially in light of recent criticism directed at Brown v Board of Education. It discusses the separate-but-equal doctrine of Plessy v Ferguson and Marshall's underlying strategy that such a doctrine was harmful to black children. It concludes with the author's interpretation of Marshall's vision of racial equality. (GR)
