Students and teachers can take an online journey with Toni Morrison through
the tumultuous time of school desegregation, sparked by the Brown v. Board
of Education decision fifty years ago, on http://www.TeachingBooks.net.
Access to this
program is free of charge.
Two brief movies narrated by this Nobel Laureate
and Pulitzer Prize-winning
author introduce viewers to her book, Remember: The Journey to School
Integration (Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004), and reveal photographs
and motion-picture images of the events and emotions felt by both sides
of the issue.

for sharing the impact of Brown v. Board of Education, including the two movies;

entitled, "The Narrow Path, the Open Gate, the Wide Road"; and links to

the full Supreme Court decision, the US digital archive collection, and the
History of Education Society's collection of essays examining the diverse impact
of Brown in the past fifty years.
