Board of Education and Black America's Struggle for Equality","description":"\u003cb\u003eSimple Justice\u003c\/b\u003e is the definitive history of the landmark case \u003ci\u003eBrown v. Board of Education\u003c\/i\u003e and the epic struggle for racial equality in this country. Combining intensive research with original interviews with surviving participants, Richard Kluger provides the fullest possible view of the human and legal drama in the years before 1954, the cumulative assaults on the white power structure that defended segregation, and the step-by-step establishment of a team of inspired black lawyers that could successfully challenge the law. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the unanimous Supreme Court decision that ended legal segregation, Kluger has updated his work with a new final chapter covering events and issues that have arisen since the book was first published, including developments in civil rights and recent cases involving affirmative action, which rose directly out of \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e v. \u003ci\u003eBoard of Education.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Kluger, a Princeton graduate, worked as a journalist with \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Herald Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, on which he was the last literary editor, before entering book publishing.
