Brown v. Board of Education
“In a world where it means so much to take a man by the hand and sit beside him, to look frankly into his eyes and feel his heart beating with red blood; in a world where a social cigar or a cup of tea together means more than legislative halls and magazine articles and speeches,—one can imagine the consequences of the almost utter absence of such social amenities between estranged races, whose separation extends even to parks and streetcars.”
― W.E.B Dubois, The Souls of Black Folks
African Americans protesting for the desegregation of schools during the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s-1960s. The movement reinforced the 14th Amendment, which inspired the Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education, which desegregated schools.
