Rehearing Denied in Topeka Desegregation Case
The 10th Circuit in Denver denied a rehearing of the reopened Brown v Topeka Board of Education desegregation case. Plaintiffs attorney Richard Jones said the decision may end over a decade of litigation while school board attorney Joe Zima indicated a news conference was planned. The 1954 ruling that separate but equal had no place in public education was reopened in 1979 and last year a panel overturned a district judge line on desegregation progress.
