Brown @ 70
When Brown v. Board of Education was decided in 1954, making school segregation illegal across the United States, it changed everything—and nothing. Communities everywhere became battlegrounds for testing the limits of the decision, in the courts and on the streets.
Seventy years later, we’re still grappling with its legacy. Brown @ 70, a series of events this year from Ohio Humanities, honors the decision's impact and Ohio's role in the civil rights movement then and now.
