Incredible in its scope, impossibly detailed - never a light read but I always wanted to read it. I found Kluger's style refreshing - not that it was biased, it seemed merely to address the absurdity of Jim Crow and the systematic, ongoing denial of rights. The final decision, unfolding in gripping, almost novelistic fashion in seeming real time, was one of the most fascinating parts. (  ) eswnr | Nov 9, 2008 |  Separate but equal was never equal. Supreme Court decision upheld Jim Crow laws and the Federal govt. abided by Jim Crow laws in their own employment, cafeteria, offices, etc. The Garland Fund (Charles Garland's inheritance that he set up as a trust, living as a farmer himself) provided money to attack segregation. The Margold Plan proposed not to dispute the legality of segregation, but to sue institutions and/or states for not providing equal education as per segregation laws. Attack graduate schools first, as states can't afford to provide dual grad programs. Brown vs. Bd. of Ed. attacked segregation per se. 1954, the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, decided unanimously that segregation per se is unequal. But they decided to move slowly to do away with it -- a mistake. Quick action would have resulted in less friction.  missmath144 | Mar 20, 2008 | 3636. Simple Justice: The History of Brown v. Board of Education and Black America's Struggle for Equality, by Richard Kluger (read 12 Oct 2002) This is a 1976 book which tells the story of all five school desegregation cases from their beginning to the eventual triumph in the Supreme Court. It is a fascinating story, extremely well-told and holding one's interest thru every one of its 822 pages. The case has always been a great interest of mine, I remembering well how and where I first heard of the Supreme Court decision on May 17, 1954, and the enthusiasm I felt on the momentous victory for justice which it was. This book is easily the best I read this month. ( ) Schmerguls | Nov 17, 2007 | Eminently readable account of the history of Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court decision that held that "separate but equal" facilities are inherently unequal, and banned segregation. "Here is the human drama . . . of the many plaintiffs. . . who made the hard decision to proceed. . . Here, too, is the extraordinary tale . . . of the black legal establishment, forced literally to invent itself before it could join the fight. . ." It was clear from the start that this decision could not be a close vote, if it was to be supportable. Kluger's analysis of how Chief Justice Warren achieved what many thought impossible - a unanimous decision - is absolutely fascinating. lilithcat | Nov 7, 2005 | näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
