brown v board of Education

New Media Technology Charter School in Northwest Philly is facing a probe as it's charter is up for renewal based on article in today's Philadelphia Inquirer.  

My name is Cherelle Reed and I am currently a senior at Overbrook HS and a member of the Philadelphia Student Union. Brown vs. the board of education was a trial in which a man by the name of Oliver Brown fought to stop the segregation in schools. The outcome of the trial was desegregation in all schools. His argument was that separate is not considered equal. Now 55 years later I stand here before you today on the steps of our school district asking you are our schools equal? Are they moving in a direction of equity? How would we know?
