Elizabeth’s Reviews > The State Must Provide: Why America's Colleges Have Always Been Unequal―and How to Set Them Right > Status Update

The dedication and effort required by Black civil rights lawyers/groups to go after Separate But Equal and the intense burden for people like Gaines who accepted the role of guinea pig!!

Some of the organization of the sections was giving me pause but the sections on Plessy v Ferguson with Harlan’s dissent and the segregation of Berea College made me tear up. God. Miserable to remember that society does not naturally move in a progressive direction and can actually very easily be reactive and punishing of those who desire positive change.
