“Celebrating the centennial of a civil rights victory”

May 30, 2024

I’ve written this column, appearing in today’s Daily Journal.

It begins:

“America recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. But there’s another Supreme Court school desegregation decision, one by California’s high court, that is also marking a milestone worth noting. Piper v. Big Pine School District (1924) 193 Cal. 664 is 100 years old this Sunday.”

A centennial celebration will be held Saturday in Big Pine.
