Desegregation Legacy Touches Topeka and Kansas City History

The piece traces Brown v. Board of Education's long shadow in Topeka and Kansas City. It notes continued racial gaps in Kansas schools, mounting segregation by settlement patterns, and the failed or rolled back desegregation efforts including magnet schools and court rulings. Prominent figures include Carolyn Campbell, Linda Sue Brown, and attorney Arthur Benson II, with focus on Topeka’s 1975 closures and 1995 Kansas City reversal.
