“…Academic leaders have been driven by the rise of historically and politically marginalized voices to address the subordinating policies and ideologies that inform race and racism, culturally and structurally, beyond the individual person (Gillborn, 2009;Ladson-Billings, 1998). Scholars from the fields of legal scholarship and education have questioned the extent to which Brown v. Board of Education and the plethora of additional landmark cases ensuing really addressed equity and inclusion for minoritized and excluded ethnic and non-white groups following the civil rights movement (Crenshaw, Gotanda, Peller, & Thomas, 1995;Gillborn, 2009;Kennedy, 1989;Ladson-Billings, 1998;Lynn & Parker, 2006;Russo, Harris III, & Sandridge, 1994). Such cases that focused on eliminating racial segregation in the school system include Mendez v. Westminster in 1946 (Wollenberg, 1974), Goss v. Board of Education in 1963 (Caldas, Growe, & Bankston, 2002), Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in1954 (Russo et al, 1994) and Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education in 1971 (Bell, 1995), to name a few.…”
