<table><tbody><tr><td><table><tbody><tr><td>The landmark&nbsp;Brown v. Board of Education&nbsp;case, which barred racial segregation in American public schools, wasn’t the only path for Black parents, teachers, and activists who sought equality of educational opportunity. Some believed that the solution to inequality lay in pressing the federal government to live up to the Jim Crow doctrine of “separate but equal” by providing more resources to Black schools. And for a time, this seemed true in Washington, DC, where Black activists leveraged their status as residents of the nation’s capital to advocate on behalf of Black education. However, disappointments with the “separate but equal” strategy and a sea change in activism led to an embrace of integration. In&nbsp;Nothing Less Than Equality, Professor&nbsp;Tikia K. Hamilton reveals the rich and complex history of educational activism in Washington prior to&nbsp;Brown v. Board of Education, illuminating complex dynamics that provide a counterpoint and backdrop to the landmark Supreme Court case. Hamilton thoroughly examines the multipronged strategies employed by parents, teachers, attorneys, and activists to democratize education. At a time when funding for public schools, affirmative action, Black studies, and broader civil rights are under savage attack, this conversation takes on heightened relevance.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
