The Brown v Board of Education National Historical Site has been the homecoming of the 70th anniversary of the 1954 Supreme Court case that allowed equal access to schools to end segregation.

State(s): Kansas
Established: 1992
“It's ongoing effort to preserve the history Of having equality for everyone.”
