This Week in History – Brown Vs. Board of Education Ruling

May 16, 2018August 23, 2018 Taraya Galloway

This week in 1954, segregation in public schools is declared to be unconstitutional and “inherently unequal” in the final ruling of Brown v. Board of Education. The unanimous decision was a major win for the civil rights movement and a big stepping stone toward the eventual abolishment of racially segregated public spaces.
