Abstract	This spring marks the 50th anniversary (May 17, 1954-2004) of the Supreme Courts' decision to outlaw segregation by ruling unanimously in favor of the plaintiffs in Brown v. the Board of Education. Of course, segregation never really ended, as will be explained in this interview with Cheryl Brown Henderson, daughter of Oliver Brown, the 10th of 13 plaintiffs in Brown v. the Board and the namesake for the case. In this interview, Cheryl Brown Henderson provides an historical context for the landmark Supreme Court decision named after her father. She then discusses the decision's intended effect on education, particularly on underprepared students from under-resourced schools, the very students developmental educators work so hard to prepare for college study. She also speaks of the difficulty of desegregating schools and colleges/universities, which--unlike, for example, relatively impersonal settings such as public transportation--are highly social settings.
