“…The struggle against school segregation in the ethnic Mexican community likewise was a protracted and multifaceted one that originated in the early part of the 20th century but was renewed and expanded in the late 1960s. For more than a decade, activists protested school segregation, took local school districts to court, applied pressure on federal agencies to investigate and eliminate segregation against Latinos in the public schools, and supported pieces of legislation encouraging integration and opposing those that undermined it (Martinez, 1994;San Miguel, 2005;Wilson, 2003).…”

This article provides a rationale and suggests an approach for investigating the school activism of Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans in the history of education. This more inclusive and comparative approach to Latino activism deepens the understanding of their complex struggles for equality and pluralism in American education. It shows how different groups of Latinos engaged in multiple but parallel struggles for increased learning across space and time and achieved different results. Their efforts expanded, extended, and diversified the historic struggle for education waged primarily by ethnic Mexican activists in the first half of the 20th century.

“…Cuando comenzamos a escribir, nosotros también iniciamos preguntándonos si como sociedad habíamos “llegado a superar” esto en relación a las preocupaciones sociales vigentes. Luego, según nuestra preparación y entrenamiento académico, revisamos la literatura relevante e incluimos análisis interdisciplinario de casos previos y posteriores a Brown (e.g., Dumas, 2011; Fine, 2004; Haney-López, 1996; San Miguel, 2005). Esta literatura permitió enmarcar nuestro enfoque de tal modo que el legado de Brown se presente de forma más compleja de la que existe actualmente en nuestro campo de estudio.…”

Resumen El propósito: Este artículo presenta una reflexión sobre el 60º aniversario de la decisión judicial de la Corte Suprema en el caso Brown v. Board of Education y discute las lecciones significativas aprendidas de ésta y las subsiguientes decisiones de la corte. El argumento: Afirmamos que un nuevo diálogo fundamentalmente diferente referido al legado del caso Brown es necesario si apuntamos a entender de manera crítica el pasado, el presente y el futuro de las relaciones raciales como telón de fondo de las cuestiones de segregación escolar en este país. Implicaciones: El legado problemático de Brown provee una oportunidad para interrogar la cuestión de por qué nosotros como un país continuamos teniendo fe en este caso en particular como solución por la inequidad racial. Invitamos a los lectores a “soltar” simbólicamente a Brown para imaginar nuevas posibilidades de la justicia racial, la oportunidad educacional, y la reforma social.

“…Then, in line with our academic training and preparation, we turned to the literature and included interdisciplinary analyses related to pre-and post-Brown legal cases (e.g., Dumas, 2011;Fine, 2004;Haney-López, 1996;San Miguel, 2005). Argument: In this article, we posit that a fundamentally different conversation surrounding the legacy of Brown is needed if we are to critically understand the past, present, and future of race relations as a backdrop to issues of segregated schooling in this country.…”

Purpose: This article reflects on the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision while discussing the significant lessons learned from this and subsequent court decisions. Argument: In this article, we posit that a fundamentally different conversation surrounding the legacy of Brown is needed if we are to critically understand the past, present, and future of race relations as a backdrop to issues of segregated schooling in this country. Implications: The troublesome legacy of Brown provides a unique opportunity to interrogate why we, as a country, continue to have faith in this particular court decision as a remedy for racial inequality. We invite readers to symbolically "let go" of Brown in order to imagine new possibilities for racial justice, educational opportunity, and social reform.This particular year marks the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education court decision of 1954. As with most anniversaries, these occasions provide a unique opportunity for reflection and contemplation. In this Downloaded from López and Burciaga 797 particular case, it allows us to reflect on both the advances and shortcomings surrounding the effects of this landmark court case. To be certain, countless learned organizations, public interest groups, media outlets, academic institutions, and individuals are also seizing the opportunity to reflect on the historical significance of this particular anniversary. Many of them are contemplating the question of whether we have "arrived" as a society with respect to the issues of racism and inequality, while simultaneously providing a space to discuss the barriers and challenges we still face 60 years after the famous decision was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court.As we started writing, we also began by asking ourselves whether or not we have "arrived" as a society with respect to these broader social issues. Then, in line with our academic training and preparation, we turned to the literature and included interdisciplinary analyses related to pre-and post-Brown legal cases (e.g., Dumas, 2011;Fine, 2004;Haney-López, 1996;San Miguel, 2005). This scholarship helped frame our approach to presenting a more complex legacy of Brown than we currently discuss in our field. After perusing other literature, we quickly realized that many authors had also asked similar questions with respect to Brown's impact; questions such as: What progress have we made since the Brown decision? even the 30th anniversary of Brown (Goodman, 1984). From our perspective, it seemed as though individuals had been asking the same set of questions for well more than 30 years.Not wanting to reproduce the same line of argumentation, we decided to approach our discussion surrounding the historical legacy of Brown somewhat differently. Rather than answering the same questions posed by others, we decided that it would be worthwhile to explore a different set of
