BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION: Words That Made a Difference is Readers’ Theater with music, which uses the exact words from the Brown courtroom and the words of Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, to shine a light on individuals, ideologies and the transformative words which made a difference in the lives of African American children.
