February: Black History Month There are so many individuals that made a difference for African Americans. Therefore, it is impossible to name them all and give credit to them. However, it is not impossible to acknowledge how African Americans, as a whole, has made a difference and are continuing to make a difference.

1954: Brown vs. Board of Education Brown vs. Board of Education was made up of five separate but similar court cases: Briggs v. Elliott in South Carolina Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County in Virginia Gebhart v. Belton in Delaware; Bolling v. Sharpe in the District of Columbia Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in Kansas. “This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the separate but equal doctrine in American public schools.” Source: Teaching Tolerance Magazine, Article written by Brian Willoughby. “The half-century since Brown vs. Board of Education has been a series of gains and losses, from segregation to integration and on to a new kind of segregation. Other movements — feminism, the fights for other minority rights, gay rights, advocacy by and on behalf of people with disabilities — were aided, bolstered and fueled by Brown vs. Board of Education.”
