Brown vs. Board of Education
Broadcast 08/13/04 On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court delivered a landmark civil rights decision known as Brown vs. the Board of Education.

Relive the 50th anniversary of this historic decision with a reenactment of the judicial proceedings from the United States District Court Building in Des Moines. Several distinguished Iowa judges and attorneys will reenact key portions of this landmark case. You'll also hear the participants' impressions of the case and their thoughts on the legal, historical and sociological significance of the decision 50 years later.
