Hispanics Concentrated in Own Texas Schools
A Dallas Morning News analysis finds more than 40 percent of Texas Hispanic students attend schools where they are the majority, with many campuses also showing high poverty. The trend mirrors national research noting rising segregation since the 1960s, now multiracial. Houston and other districts show uneven desegregation progress.

Linda Brown descendants carry on legacy of landmark ruling
Linda Brown, now 62, taught in Head Start and attended Washburn University after the 1954 Supreme Court decision. Oliver Brown died in 1961, but the family revisited Topeka as Linda Brown and Cheryl Brown Henderson sustain the Brown Foundation. Linda Brown helps in a Topeka church, while her sister runs the foundation at the former grade school now a national historic site. De facto segregation persists today due to economic factors, Linda Thompson noted during a March talk in Laramie, warning that black children's rights remain crucial to the nation's survival.
