      abstract = {Between the turn of the twentieth century and the Brown v.  Board of Education decision in 1954, the way that American  schools taught about "race" changed dramatically. This  transformation was engineered by the nation's most  prominent anthropologists, including Franz Boas, Ruth  Benedict, and Margaret Mead, during World War II. Inspired  by scientific racism in Nazi Germany, these activist  scholars decided that the best way to fight racial  prejudice was to teach what they saw as the truth about  race in the institution that had the power to do the most  good-American schools.},
