Drew Lindsay, "The Decision that Changed Everything," Washingtonian magazine (1 May 2004)

Describes the road to and after Bolling v. Sharpe, the Brown v. Board companion case that desegregated DC public schools using a legal argument based on the Fifth - and not the Thirteenth - Amendment. Heavy with short excerpts of interviews with Washingtonians - many never famous - about their experiences and recollections of, and reactions to, the Supreme Court's decision.
