Symposium CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 schools. However, knowledge of this pe riod in history is not necessary to appreciate the commemoration’s events. Event organizer Patricia Sullivan, professor of history at USC, said the purpose of the com memoration is to “inform the pub lic of the decision as well as to cel ebrate it.” While the commemoration is in tribute to the anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, an other major case, Briggs v. Elliot, □is also being addressed. This case was named after Harry Briggs, one of 20 parents who filed a law suit against R.W. Elliot, president of the Clarendon County ichool Board. The symposiums will ad dress three aspects of Brown v. Board: the Briggs v. Elliot case, school desegregation in South Carolina and the legacy of Brown v. Board. Lawyers, plaintiffs and nu merous others involved in the Briggs and Brown cases will be speaking at the event so that, ac cording to Sullivan, the public can “see people interested and in volved in the struggles. This gives people a more intimate and complete perspective on history.” One such speaker is Judge Robert L. Carter. At the time of the Brown decision, Carter was Thurgood Marshall’s top assis tant. Sullivan called Carter a “brilliant intellectual — he’s 87, still a sitting judge and has very important thoughts on the case’s current relevance.” Carter, as well as the other speakers, will address the issue of Brown v. Board’s legacy, and how even though the decision yielded many positive changes, today’s public school system is still bur dened by flaws. All events of the commemora tion are open to the public. In ad dition to the April 24 series of sym posiums, the McKissick Museum will open a Brown v. Board exhi bition this August.
