The grandson of slaves, son of an educator and a major participant in the civil rights movement, Julian Bond discusses the promise of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, explaining how and why it was broken, and why it matters.

Bond provides the larger historical context for Brown, comparing its significance with that of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He then examines the current state of the civil rights struggle, and on what issues this struggle will likely focus in the future.
