Abstract
This article examines perceived discrimination in Topeka, Kansas, which is home to the landmark Supreme Court Decision Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education. Using data from a 21-item survey questionnaire and nine focus groups, this article describes perceptions of discrimination among citizens. The findings suggest that a significant portion of participants have experienced some form of discrimination. Quantitative and qualitative data reveal that significant levels of perceived discrimination have been experienced across all population groups. The authors draw from the normative theory of discrimination in the interpretation of the data. This article concludes by suggesting policy recommendations that may be a start for effective remedies that aim to minimize perceived discrimination in this community.
