Board of Education decision. To commemorate this milestone, the Center for Education and Civil Rights (CECR) and the Africana Research Center (ARC) are convening a national symposium of education, law, and policy scholars and practitioners at the Pennsylvania State University. Speakers will discuss Brown’s promise of racial integration amidst major contemporary threats to civil rights in education. Panel issues include:
