70TH ANNIVERSARY BROWN COALITION
The Coalition came about through outreach from the National Park Service to re-establish a collaborative working relationship with The Brown Foundation for Educational Excellence, Equity, and Research.

COMMEMORATING TOGETHER
Community groups unite to honor the on-going legacy of
Brown v. Board of Education
and the US Supreme Court's decision to hear all five 1952 school desegregation cases collectively.
Belton v Gebhart (Delaware)
Bolling v Sharp (Washington, D.C.)
Briggs v Elliott (South Carolina)
Brown v Board of Education (Kansas)
Davis v Prince Edward County School Board (Virginia)
​
This grouping was significant because it showed school segregation as a national issue, and not just a regional one.

"This is an exciting time for not just Topeka and America, but for the entire world. We can look back seventy years to see how far we have come and then look forward to assess how far we yet need to go. So much hangs on the continued work that the Brown decision set in motion."
