Reflections on Brown v. Board
Charles Ogletree Jr. will discuss his new book, "All Deliberate Speed: Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v. Board of Education," on Tuesday, April 20, at 7 p.m., at the University of the District of Columbia (David A. Clarke School of Law, 4200 Connecticut Ave. NW, Building 38, 2nd Floor, Van Ness Metro). Ogletree examines the personal ramifications of the landmark decision for him and his family – his childhood in the wake of the Brown decision, his student days at Stanford and Harvard Law, his immersion in the Boston busing crisis – and its meaning for all Americans. To RSVP or for more information, call Delores Jackson at 202/274-7349 or send an e-mail here.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
