Audience Member I gave it a Netflix 4 because it had a nice amount of information in it, but it didn't make the case hard enough which we know is so easy to make that schools are still segregated and lacking much of the improvement that was sought by the battle for the initial ruling. Certainly this insight can be supplemented by films that have been recently released such as "The Lottery", "Waiting for Superman", and "The Principal Story" with the reigniting of the educational debate, but know that this is the course of your action if you intend to use this as any sort of teaching tool or foundation for a discussion.

It shows the amazing diversity of cultures from rural to urban; primitive to sophisticated and everything in between. This amazing documentary is almost constantly in motion; it occasionally takes a moment to record something at rest. [/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=#006400][/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=navy]"With All Deliberate Speed" is a documentary made on the fiftieth anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education which struck down the doctrine of separate but equal established in Plessy v. Ferguson(1896) and ordered the desegregation of schools 'with all deliberate speed.' It looks at the events leading up to the momentous decision and also afterwards focusing on two of the five school districts named in the suit, Clarendon County, SC and Prince Edward County, Va. Clarendon County has fared the worse of the two districts and continues to fight in the courts for suitable education.(One of the reasons a quality public education is important is possibly allowing some of its poorer citizens to escape a perpetual cycle of poverty.) I already knew most of the history involved, so I would have liked it if this documentary had focused on more of the events following the decision, especially on the battle over busing in Boston in the 1970's to show that segregated schools are not simply a phenomenon of the South.[/color][/font] Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
