His child was refused admission and was instructed to attend one reserved for "colored children." The parent filed a lawsuit and sued the Topeka Board of Education, demanding that his child be received and instructed at that school, regardless of race. The case went to the Kansas State Supreme Court where it became a precedent for maintaining school segregation in Topeka and other cities in Kansas. The year was 1902. Despite its outcome, this lawsuit illustrates the local-level KEY WORDS: Brown v. Board of Education, civil rights, Reynolds v. Board of Education, school segregation, Topeka.

Prevention or delay of diabetes in this population would improve quality of life and reduce health care costs. Identifying cultural definitions of health and diabetes is critically important to developing effective diabetes prevention programs. Methods: In-home qualitative interviews were conducted with 79 American Indian women from 3 tribal clinics in northeast Oklahoma to identify a cultural definition of health and diabetes. Grounded theory was used to analyze verbatim transcripts. Results: The women interviewed defined health in terms of physical functionality and absence of disease, with family members and friends serving as treatment promoters. Conversely, the women considered their overall health to be a personal issue addressed individually without burdening others. The women presented a fatalistic view of diabetes, regarding the disease as an inevitable event that destroys health and ultimately results in death. Conclusion: Further understanding of the perceptions of health in at-risk populations will aid in developing diabetes prevention programs.

This article explores the affinities between Taylorism and the ballets Apollo and Agon choreographed by George Balanchine and scored by Igor Stravinsky. Their work embodies a modernist aesthetic influencedby the principles of scientific management, and it reshaped the organization of modern ballet away from focus on the ballerinas and onto the “creative” choreographer and composer.
