Courage: the Carolina Story That Changed America July 28, 2011

This pictorial exhibit tells the story of the Carolina roots to the 1954 landmark Supreme Court decision that ended school segregation. Half a century ago, Carolina families launched a lawsuit that changed America. This lawsuit was the first of five across the country that would lead to the 1954 landmark Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. The Brown decision ruled racially segregated schools unconstitutional and set in motion a series of events that continue to shape our lives today.
