During the times of legalized racial segregation African Americans and
White Americans weren’t allowed to be on the same premises, and didn't have the
same opportunities. This rule was especially applied for education. Most
African Americans weren’t even allowed to go to school. Even if they did, they
had poor educational resources. On the other hand, White Americans had beautiful
schools and great education. This led African Americans to fight for their rights.
After years of fighting, they finally succeeded. On May 17th, 1954, a law was
made following the case of Brown vs the Board of Education stating that it was
illegal to segregate students by the color of their skin. So don’t take your
education for granted. For generations, people before us fought hard for you to
get the great education they dreamed of.
