From the Paper:

"Simple Justice" recounts the story of the landmark Brown v. the Board of Education case in heard in Topeka Kansas, which, simply stated, created non-segregated education in America. The author wrote the book so the nation could take a look at how to "exploit its inner resources," and work through the continuing and continual problem of racial segregation. "Material values in themselves, in short, can neither explain nor sustain the American achievement: the nation must exploit its inner resources as well if it is longer long at the center of the global stage" (Kluger ix). The case of Brown v. the Board of Education helped create the busing of black children into white schools, where they would get a better education, but it certainly did not end the racial strife and hatred that still exists in the country today."
