13 mar 1957 año - Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision

Descripción:

Justices ruled unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional

Arkansas called out the state National Guard to prevent black students from attending high school in Little Rock in 1957

Despite its undoubted impact, the historic verdict fell short of achieving its primary mission of integrating the nation’s public schools

Debate continues over how to combat racial inequalities in the nation’s school system, largely based on residential patterns and differences in resources between schools in wealthier and economically disadvantaged districts across the country
