#BrownvBoard is the gift that keeps on giving to America. A DC federal court issued powerful opinion citing this historic case in a challenge to the Trump Admin’s effort to terminate the Equity Assistance Center established by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Today marks the 71st anniversary of #BrownvBoard. I entered primary school in 1956, 2 years after the 1954 decision. Until I entered grad school in 1972, my entire education was segregated. Even then, Black students were scarce. Here in 2025, we witness the cyclical evidence of the changing same.

Today is the 72nd anniversary of Brown v. Board. But here’s a piece of Nevada history most don’t know: in 1872 — 82 years BEFORE Brown — the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that schools couldn’t segregate by race. Nevada got it right first. The fight continues.

It's a mistake to think that BrownvBoard of Ed was about school integration
It was about equal funding
The schools across the US were found to have separate but vastly UNEQUAL facilities for Black & White students. It cost too much so they short changed Black #schools.

Brown v. Board: When the Supreme Court ruled against segregation
The decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka on May 17, 1954 is perhaps the most famous of all Supreme Court cases, as it started the process ending segregation. It overturned the equally far-reaching decision of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896.
