may 17, 1954 - Brown v. Board of Education
Description:
A colored girl went to register at a school 5 blocks away from her house, but she was turned down because she was black. Therefore, they were telling her to go to school 21 blocks away. This was a very long walk. So she took them to court and this impacted the way the segregation was looked at.Added to timeline:
