This special documents the history and importance of diversity in public schools by looking at the historical significance of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) on its 70th anniversary, and, locally in New York, with the D15 Diversity Plan on the heels of its 5th anniversary. We discuss its impact on the public schools’ admission process, the D15 community, other CECs, and the diversity landscape in NYC overall.
