From the Paper:

""Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other `tangible' factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal education opportunities? We believe it does". This question was asked before the Supreme Court in the Brown et al vs. Board of Education in the 1950s. While many people believe that Brown vs. Board of Education was the first school segregation case, this simply is not true."
