Brown Vs. Board of Education (clip)

Although recent court cases have raised questions about its legacy, the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown decision was a key turning point in the history of segregation in America, and was the start of a long journey toward school desegregation that remains unfinished today. Viewers are shown the major cases, legal precedents, Supreme Court decisions, and key legislative acts that contributed to the right of non-white citizens to equal opportunity in education. The program also illustrates how a simple but courageous act by one little girl and her father brought this issue to a head. "A solid resource for study of the civil rights movement." —Booklist. An LCA release. 19 minutes, color.

:( sad how black people were treated...

Thomas jefferson has nothing to do with this but he was a badddd badd man who not only kept Black people from rising up in society but women as well... especially black women.

Thumbs up to all the black literature majors!

I think we need to go deep and look not to Mendez, but to Roberts v. The City of Boston. This case also helped to pave to the way..
