Whereas on May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court
announced in Brown v. Board of Education (347 U.S. 483) that,
‘‘in the field of education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’
has no place’’;
Whereas the Brown decision overturned the precedent set in 1896
in Plessy v. Ferguson (163 U.S. 537), which had declared ‘‘sepa-
rate but equal facilities’’ constitutional and allowed the continued
segregation of public schools in the United States on the basis
of race;
Whereas the Brown decision recognized as a matter of law that
the segregation of public schools deprived students of the equal
protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States;
Whereas the Brown decision stood as a victory for plaintiff Linda
Brown, an African American third grader who had been denied
admission to an all white public school in Topeka, Kansas;
Whereas the Brown decision stood as a victory for those plaintiffs
similarly situated to Linda Brown in the cases that were consoli-
dated with Brown, which included Briggs v. Elliot (103 F. Supp.
920), Davis v. County School Board (103 F. Supp. 337), and
Gephardt v. Belton (91 A.2d 137);
Whereas the Brown decision stood as a victory for those that had
successfully dismantled school segregation years before Brown
through legal challenges such as Westminster School District
v. Mendez (161 F.2d 774), which ended segregation in schools
in Orange County, California;
Whereas the Brown decision stands among all civil rights cases
as a symbol of the Federal Government’s commitment to fulfill
the promise of equality;
Whereas the Brown decision helped lead to the repeal of ‘‘Jim
Crow’’ laws and the elimination of many of the severe restrictions
placed on the freedom of African Americans;
Whereas the Brown decision helped lead to the enactment of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the
basis of race, religion, or national origin in workplaces and public
establishments that have a connection to interstate commerce
or are supported by the State;
Whereas the Brown decision helped lead to the enactment of the
