Brown v. Board of Education is one of the most famous Supreme Court decisions. But without two extraordinary Delawareans—Louis Redding and Collins Seitz—and the Delaware families seeking justice, the Brown decision may have turned out very differently. This program tells an important Delaware story about the pursuit of justice and equality, specifically within the public school system for African Americans.
