Talking Points: Lawrence

"One More River to Cross"Recognizing the Real Injury in Brown
A Prerequisite to Shaping New Remedies
By: Charles Lawrence

Lawrence is talking about all the different points in the brown vs board of education. It seems like he is trying to show you different perspectives. Along with showing you segregation and what it means, and where it is and all the different points on it.

"Each step forward was just that, a step. There would always be "one more river to cross.""

I love this quote so much that i have to go out and just say how i feel on this. I know that this has to do with blacks and their fight. But i feel that this pertains to everyone! By me saying that no matter what you do that it is never enough. That there will always be more. Or that you are close but not close enough. And it is the title but it is just so catchy.

"Although it is admitted that all segregation may result in injury to black children, the factual question that must be resolved by the court is whether the state can be held responsible. "

This is Lawrence going back into the case like I said and showing other points on segregation if i am correct. Lawrence is showing segregation can result in a black child getting hurt.

The reading was rather easy but was a different type of reading. It was more of a legal reading at some points with every section. Different type but good.
