American Bar Association, Law Day 2004
The theme for Law Day 2004 is “To Win Equality by Law: Brown
v. Board at 50.” In the coming months, the Division will be posting
a wide variety of classroom activities, talking points, and resources
on the Brown decision and its legacy on the Law Day web site. The
Division will also be producing a new Law Day poster for classrooms
featuring archival photographs related to the Brown decision and an
excerpt from Justice Thurgood Marshall’s comments on the bicentennial
of the U.S. Constitution, from which the Law Day theme is derived.
Ordering information will be available on the Law Day website.
