Carson, C. (2004). Two Cheers for Brown v. Board of Education. Journal of American History, 91(1), 26. doi:10.2307/3659610
Carson’s journal article is essentially writing a clearer picture of the thoughts associated with Brown v Board of Education. There are instances where she references how although the lawsuit was a win for desegregation all did not entirely accept the decision. There was initial opposition from the south and even gained interest from the North. There is also question as to whether desegregating schools would ever bring a balance. Racial exclusion would prove to seclude African Americans psychologically and therefore begin another issue that the courts did not attempt resolve even when the issues were brought before the Judge in the case.
