The Work That Remains: Student Voice, Resistance and the Promise of Brown

In this article, we advocate for centering high school students in the work of school transformation for racial equity. We begin with an exploration of the need for and intent of Brown v Board of Education , then look at how high school students have engaged in resistance to educational inequity. We focus on the work that remains: The potential for collective resistance by engaging in a transformative student voice—developing a critical consciousness, researching issues, and posing solutions within authentic youth/adult partnerships that center student voice as a form of resistance to structural oppression.
