Untitled[edit]

Wow it's hard to find information on this case.

I could use references for the "et al" in Biggs et al.... Other references would be welcomed too. This the hardest of the Brown 5 to find information on. Rick Boatright 05:35, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For an excellent background on the case and its participants, read Richard Kluger's Simple Justice. Ellsworth (talk) 22:30, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance[edit]

"As of 2004 Summerton's schools remain effectively segregated, with nearly all White students now attending the private Clarendon Hall, leaving the public schools almost entirely African-American."

Removed this. This is a legal court case. You have to consider that this case was effective in ending "de jure" segregation. Private schools are not public accomodations. Nobody is being denied entry to this school based on the color of their skin, thus, the Fourteenth Amendment has not been violated. I still believe that this is a disturbing modern occurence based in discrimination. But it is not segregation. 71.68.15.63 (talk) 20:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Elliott[edit]

Who was Elliott? And why was he/she named as defendant in this case? 82.1.57.47 (talk) 19:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the school superintendent or board chairman in his official capacity: I will check when I get the chance. Ellsworth (talk) 22:30, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per Kluger, he was the school board chairman. Ellsworth (talk) 02:53, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"incomplete"?[edit]

the article says "...South Carolina law required incomplete segregation..." but then goes on to describe complete segregation.
