Brown v. Board of Education began when Linda Brown, barred from a nearby white school, had to travel a dangerous, lengthy route to a segregated Black school. Her family joined an NAACP‑led lawsuit that reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in 1954 that segregated public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision became a catalyst for the civil rights movement, though Southern schools resisted desegregation for years.

Each May, we honor this landmark decision for igniting the push toward equal education and advancing the civil rights movement.

Thank you Bowling Green.
