With All Deliberate Speed: Implementing Brown v. Board of Education
Editat de Brian J. Daugherity, Charles C. Boltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2008
Some of the common themes in these efforts were the importance of black activism, especially the crucial role played by the NAACP; entrenched white opposition to school integration, which wasn’t just a southern state issue, as is shown in Delaware, Wisconsin, and Indiana; and the role of the federal government, a sometimes inconstant and sometimes reluctant source of support for implementing Brown.

Recenzii
“Brown v. Board of Education (1954) may well be the greatest and most morally inspiring decision issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in its history. But it is also a decision wherein, preeminently, the devil lies in the details—in the story of how Brown was implemented and of how the decision shaped both education and society in states where schools had formerly been segregated by law. Therefore, this volume of thorough and excellent essays, edited by Brian J. Daugherity and Charles C. Bolton, is especially valuable.”
—Journal of Southern History
“Without question, With All Deliberate Speed adds much to our understanding of the history and legacy of the Brown decision and also raises significant questions about the broader civil rights movement. This carefully researched and lucidly written volume is a must-read for those interested in this crucial period in American and African American history. All parties involved in this venture should be highly commended for their pathbreaking and much-needed collection.”
