Seventy years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision, many Black students still don’t have access to crucial educational resources such as early childhood education, experienced teachers, advanced courses, and college affordability and success. Brown’s Promise, an organization housed at the Southern Education Foundation (SEF), points out that school funding tends to favor schools that mostly serve White students. Higher levels of racial segregation, school by school, can take badly needed resources from schools that serve mostly children of color or children from low-income families.

This resource hub provides ongoing news/media releases, partner resources, key articles and reports and links to SEF’s Equity Assistance Center-South, which offers resources for educators to help address disparities in schools, including the EAC-South’s Brown at 70 resource page with information and links on the Brown anniversary and related topics.
