Today we remember and honor those who gave their lives fighting for our country and freedoms ❤
Today marks the 70th anniversary of a landmark moment in American history: the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision. This case challenged segregation in public schools, stating that "separate but equal" was inherently unequal.
The unanimous ruling declared segregation unconstitutional, starting a major shift toward desegregating schools. Let's honor this legacy by reaffirming our commitment to equality and access in education! #BPatriotProud
