"On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court issued its landmark Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka ruling, which declared that racially segregated public schools were inherently unequal." - New York Times

今天是在美國歷史教科書中五零年代的著名事件之一，由最高法院審判的布朗對抗學校董事會一案的五十週年紀念日。當年公立學校內的種族隔離制度造成許多黑人學生的不便，後來經由最高法院和聯邦政府的強力施壓下總算逐一廢除，諷刺的是五十年以後，布朗一家的後代又因為學校制度的關係提出控訴，只不過這次雙方的角色互換。
