Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education

I didn't grow up in that era, but my mom did. She was a coed at The University of Alabama when governor George Wallace stood in the door refusing admittance to minority students and said, "Segregation yesterday, segregation today, segregation forever."

I'm glad that on today's 50th anniversary of the court case that started to change that mindset of America. Sure...great strides since then...long way to go...yada yada yada...but it was a start.

I truly believe that all men are created equal and this legal case confirmed that. It was vital to shaping public opinion in our country.
