New York: Brown Plus 50: A Renewed Agenda for Social Justice -- this highly acclaimed conference includes a webcast featuring some of the litigants in the original Brown cases. Part of this event was also webcast on Court TV. That broadcast can also be accesed from the Major Media Coverage of the website.. The conference paid tribute to the Hon. Robert L. Carter, who was one of the attorneys who argued the Brown cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the NAACP. Many of the participants were particularly impressed by Judge Carter's argument that it was time to stop celebrating Brown and start focusing on the solutions to today's obstacles in achieving educational equality.
