"One More River to Cross"-
Recognizing the Real Injury in Brown:
Recognizing the Real Injury in Brown:
A Prerequisite to Shaping New Remedies; from The Institution of Education.
By: Charles Lawrence
Lawrence argues the idea what Brown really didnt eliminate segregation, and until we see change in our schools segregation will be a problem.
"There would be no final victory in their lifetimes. Each step forward was just that, a step. There would always be one more river to cross."
I really liked this quote because it brings up a real interesting point. Because we can make little changes and we can try and get rid of segregation but there will always be some people who dont agree and some people who will always rebel against it. There will always be "one more river" to cross because the issue will never be completely gone.
"Black children will remain 'less qualified' until we gain representative influence in both the institutions of preparation and the institutions for which they are being prepared."
This quote explains that black children will always be "less qualified" and that until we better prepare them, thats how it will always be. I dont think its fair for us to label back children as "less qualified" because this is not the case. If we keep thinking this way nothing will ever change. With this mindset, there will always be a problem with segregation.
