Description
Between North and South: A Three-Decade Struggle for Racial Equality in Delaware. Historian Brett Gadsden explores the complex history of desegregation in Delaware, a key border state that played a significant role in the civil rights movement. Gadsden examines the litigation campaign by NAACP attorneys, which challenged racial proscriptions in public education and ultimately led to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. He also delves into the novel metropolitan approach adopted by civil rights activists to address segregation in city and suburban schools, revealing the strategic creativity of these activists. This book offers a new framework for understanding the complex dynamics of racial segregation and discrimination in the United States, challenging traditional notions of "southern-style" and "northern-style" approaches.
