#BrownvBoard

In Partnership With

Desegregating SCHOOLS, PRIORITIZING EDUCATION

On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court issued its unanimous decision in the case, stating that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. 

Brown v. Board of Education stands as a pivotal moment in the history of the United States, declaring the end of legal segregation in the education system, asserting that segregated schools could never be equal, and mandating the desegregation of schools across America.
