may 17, 1954 - Brown v. Board
Description:
Linda Brown, an African American girl, wasn't allowed to go to an all-white school. The school made her transfer to an all-black school, 20 blocks away from her home. The court ruled in favor of Brown, saying segregating children because of their race can do mental damage to black children.Added to timeline:
