Summary	Almost fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, a wealth of research shows that minority students continue to receive an unequal education. At the heart of this inequality is a complex and often conflicted relationship between teachers and civil rights activists, examined fully for the first time in Jonna Perrillo & rsquo;s Uncivil Rights, which traces the tensions between the two groups in New York City from the Great Depression to the present.
