Reservations required

Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site and the Kan-ed network at the Kansas Board of Regents, in partnership with the Great Plains Network and Internet2, will create a forum for virtual panelists who represent original plaintiffs and appellants or family members in the five cases consolidated in the historic Brown decision. This network enabled collaboration will enhance public dialogue and understanding of the historical significance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Brown v. Board of Education case. This session will connect participating communities through videoconferencing to hear first hand accounts from the panelists and to explore the meaning of the landmark decision today. The presentation will also highlight local historical resources, share primary source accounts, and demonstrate how videoconferencing can be incorporated in teaching and learning to support inquiry, scholarship, and awareness.
