ON THIS DAY...

MAY 17, 1954

U.S. SUPREME COURT OUTLAWS SCHOOL SEGREGATION IN BROWN VS BOARD OF EDUCATION. 

THIS DECISION AS HANDED DOWN STATED THAT "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."

Although this ruling was considered a major victory in the Civil Rights Movement,  Black people still had to legislate to get the laws enforced.

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORDS FOR IT. GO FIND YOUR OWN. GOOGLE IT!
