Brown at 70
Although Black and other students of color, students with disabilities, and poor students in urban settings are, undeniably, linked to the educational inequities they have experienced in the United States educational system, few attempts have been made to examine the intersection of the historic Brown decision on students with disabilities and their use of Brown to secure their “Equal Protection Under the Law” with respect to educational rights. …
Structuring Urban School/University/Community Partnerships as a Tool for Advancing the Legacy of Brown
In this paper, we argue that to advance the vision of Brown v. Board of Education for equitable, integrated schools, teacher educators must reimagine their work and prioritize school/university/community partnerships within explicitly anti-racist frameworks to attract more teachers of Color, prepare all program candidates as educators for equity, and help partner schools become more equity-focused. We then discuss how we used lessons from the wor…
Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Brown
As we have reflected on both historical and recent events in American society and education, we are more adamant than ever that we must continue the fight to fulfill the unfulfilled promise of Brown, and it is critically important that we do so with urgency

Despite the fact that African American and other students of color, students labeled as having disabilities, and poor students in urban schools are indisputably linked in terms of the quality of schooling they have experienced, few attempts have been made to examine the relationship between special education and urban education. Both students placed in special education and those who attend urban schools have a long history of being miseducated, …
Students With Disabilities
The Intersection of Race, Culture, Language, and Disability
To date, few researchers have sought to examine the effect of issues of race, culture, language, and disability, let alone to look specifically at the intersection of these issues, as it relates to special education identification, special education service delivery, and students of color’s access to an equitable education. Thus, this article will attempt to help urban education researchers and educators understand (a) why the intersection of rac…
Reframing Urban Education Discourse
This article represents a conversation between two urban educators—one African American and one White. Not only the influence of race, but also the influence of personal and cultural histories on urban classrooms and colleges, unfold during their conversation. Providing important insights into the nature and significance of the work of urban education, their dialogue also demonstrates the need for, and examples of, multiple divergent voices in th…
Disproportionate Representation of African American Students in Special Education
This article places the problem of disproportionate representation of African American students in special education in the context of the White privilege and racism that exist in American society as a whole. The author discusses how educational resource allocation, inappropriate curriculum and pedagogy, and inadequate teacher preparation have contributed to the problem of disproportionate representation. More important, she argues that remedies …
