Abstract

This article critiques post-Brown educational reforms for Black children by examining what effects post-Brown educational reform efforts had on Black children. To frame the discussion, post-Brown is defined as the broad ideology that desegregation was supposed to improve education for Black children. This analysis explores how and why Brown came about. Next, post-Brown educational reforms and their impact on Black children are examined. These post-Brown reforms include charter schools, voucher programs, magnet schools, homeschooling, and special education programs.
