Medea Benjamin, Common Dreams
Benjamin writes: "If you think that as a United States citizen you're entitled to a trial by jury before the government can decide to kill you - you're wrong.

Nadine Bloch, Waging Nonviolence
Bloch writes: "While the decision in this case, Brown v. Board of Education, has received the most ink over the last six decades, the stories and people behind the landmark decision are even more vividly compelling and inspiring than the sea-changing unanimous ruling itself."
