Prologue: The end of a long wait
Separate
Land of Lincoln
Resistance
From the ashes in Springfield
To the courts
The red summer
Passing the torch: the new Negro movement
The challenge
To the courts once more
Thurgood Marshall joins the fray
Setbacks
No turning back
Renewing the attack
A school of one's own
The main event
Student revolt
Kansas
The battle is joined
A change at the top
Round two
The meaning of equality
Making it real
Legacy.
