Fox News
The U.S Supreme Court declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case on this day in history, May 17, 1954.
"May 17, 1954, was a great day — many would say the greatest day — in the history of that institution," then-Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said in Topeka in 2004, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the decision. "In the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place." "After Brown, Thurgood Marshall argued many more court cases in support of civil rights." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"Before May 17, 1954, the Court read the Constitution's words ‘equal protection of the laws,’ as if they protected only the members of the majority race. After May 17, 1954, it read those words as the post-Civil War Framers meant them, as offering the same protection to citizens of every race."
