About this event
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a 1954 landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled that U.S. state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional. The Court's decision in Brown paved the way for integration, was a major victory of the civil rights movement, and a model for many future impact litigation cases. Brad Snyder’s book, Democratic Justice: Felix Frankfurter, the Supreme Court, and the Making of the Liberal Establishment, is the first comprehensive biography of the Harvard Law School professor, New Deal power broker, and Supreme Court justice. Brad will share with us the story of Frankfurter’s life and how his deep commitment to democracy and his belief in objective truth informed his democratic convictions and led to the court’s decision.
