Early on, the definition of "common" was straightforward enough: it simply meant publicly funded education for free male students. With passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, that comfortable meaning of common was substantially revised to mean public dollars for the grammar school education of all children, both free and freed alike. A long and segregated century later, Thurgood Marshall reshaped the meaning of common for a second time. Arguing before the Warren Court in Brown vs. Board of Education, Marshall denied the logic of "separate, but equal," proposing instead that equality meant access to a common community of peers, adults, and experiences, not merely the raw provision of buildings, desks, books, and teachers. However, exactly as Marshall taught that we had outlived the selfishness of Plessy vs. Ferguson, we are learning that we have reached the limits of what Marshall himself could ask for, and what the Court could enforce as common.

The evidence reveals a robust relationship between income inequality and income segregation, an effect that is larger for black families than for white families. In addition, income inequality affects income segregation primarily through its effect on the large-scale spatial segregation of affluence rather than by affecting the spatial segregation of poverty or by altering small-scale patterns of income segregation.
