This week's Pan-African Journal pays tribute to the 60th anniversary of the historic Brown v. Topeka ruling of the United States Supreme Court which said that separate but equal facilities in public education are inherently unconstitutional.
The decision was rendered on May 17, 1954 yet it would take at least another fifteen years before any serious movement in breaking down dual school systems based on race to take place. Even six decades later, the U.S. remains a deeply divided society where national oppression and racism are still very much in evidence.
An audio documentary on the legacy of Judge Thurgood Marshall is presented in the second hour. Marshall was the lead counsel in the Supreme Court case and would later serve as solicitor general under President John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. LBJ would later appoint him as the first African American on the Supreme Court.
In addition, there is the Pan-African News Wire segment of the program which examines some of the most pressing and burning issues of the day. To access the Pan-African Journal archives just log on to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/panafricanjournal .
