WASHINGTON — When the Supreme Court hears arguments on Monday on the fate of affirmative action in higher education, the justices will be working in the looming shadow of a towering legal landmark: Brown v. Board of Education, the unanimous 1954 decision that said the Constitution prohibits racial segregation in public schools.
Both sides claim the mantle of Brown, which is widely thought to be the court’s finest moment. The challengers say the decision requires admissions policies to be colorblind, dooming race-conscious programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
