One of my professors in law school, Paul Wilson, argued the case for Kansas. He gave a talk every year about it. He was very proud and shared that this was the key to the adversarial system, that there have to be strong arguments on both sides. He wanted the plaintiffs to win but prepared all the arguments against them. Interesting man. He said that the plaintiffs’ sponsors chose Kansas because the separate black schools in Kansas were equal to the white schools. Probably the only place in the country where they were. In fact, they had to choose Topeka because the smaller towns had integrated way back in the 20s because it was too expensive to maintain two equal school systems.
