03/01/2006: "Thurgood Marshall's Dissent in Milliken"

Quoted in Kevin Kruise's recent book, White Flight, a book which ought to win a shelf full of awards.

Today's holding, I fear, is more a reflection of a perceived public mood that we have gone far enough in enforcing the Constitution's guarantee of equal justice than it is the product of neutral principles of law.

In the short run, it may seem to be the easier course to allow our great metropolitan areas to be divided up each into two cities- one white, one black- but it is a course, I predict, our people will ultimately regret."
