Brown vs. Board of Education, Part I
While we can all be glad that state-sponsered racism is a thing of the past, one wonders about all the lamenting about how people are still not integrated. Should we be much more worried about the rate of out-of-wedlock births and fatherless households in the African-American communit? It is devastating their community. And those rates are increasing outside of their communities as well. We must keep our eye on the ball. What is truly important? The concerns of the 50's may not be the most important thing to worry about today.
