Heble’s (2000) book Landing on the Wrong Note: Jazz, Dissonance, and Critical Practice. I have chosen this musical image to convey the problem of good intentions gone awry. No musician plans to play the wrong note. The plaintiffs, litigators, Supreme Court Justices, and civil rights advocates all expressed good intentions regarding Brown, and although playing one wrong note does not destroy or invalidate an entire performance, it does create a kind of dissonance that is more or less evident depending on one’s vantage point. I am suggesting that the results of the Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954 represent a kind of landing on the wrong note. Brown’s intentions were good and honorable. Its fight was just, but from a 2004 perspective, one might argue that we have landed on a wrong note. I am also using this jazz metaphor as a way to conceive a new vision of America that is more complex and multifaceted than the prevailing cultural narrative. This article addresses what I have identified as the price we paid for Brown. I want to deal with my concerns by providing a justification for discussing Brown, exploring the historical context in which Brown was conceived, detailing what I see as the specific limitations of the ruling, and considering where we might go from here.
