Landmark status, for a landmark case.
#DidYouKnow that the site of the 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education is a National Historic Landmark?
In Topeka, Kansas, thirteen parents bravely volunteered to enroll their students in all-white schools, only to be refused admission. This case resulted in an unanimous ruling stating that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional.
That “separate but equal” was not equal at all.
Today, you can visit the sites and schools where the students were first denied access and learn how this case transformed American society forever.
