Civil rights lawyer’s son to speak on case tonight

By By Estuardo Garcia (Contact)

Tuesday, February 15, 2005

Charles Scott Jr, the son of one of the lawyers representing the plaintiff in the Brown v. The Board of Education case, is scheduled to speak at the University of Kansas tonight.

Tasha Keathley, lecturer in African/African American studies, asked Scott to speak to her “Civil Rights Movement” class.

The lecture was moved from Keathley’s classroom to the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics because of the interest from the case’s recent anniversary, said Lisa Hall, administrative specialist for the office of African/African American studies.

Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court case that ended the segregation of schools. The decision came on May 17, 1954.

Scott is scheduled to speak at 6 p.m.
