What Year is this? In #Mississippi The Fight For #School #Desegregation Continues

Decades after #BrownvBoard, the #DOJ announced that 32 #schooldistricts in Mississippi are under desegregation orders.

@kennedyhistorians I'm writing a book on the Kennedy Administration's work to restore public education to Prince Edward County, Virginia. That community closed its public schools in defiance of #BrownvBoard, opened private schools for the white students, but provided no education for the 1,700 Black students...from 1959-1964. It was the only place in the country without free public education and many southern localities were looking to follow their lead.

Across town from #LittleRock Central HS in September 1957, a young Jerry Jones joined a mob of white students trying to block Black students from integrating the school.

Yes, that Jerry Jones

The untold school segregation story behind Bernie Sanders's 1963 arrest while a student at #UChicago - Chicago Reader

This is part of the long history of the 1954 #BrownvBoard #SCOTUS decision. In 1963, the civil rights group CORE protested segregated, inferior schools.

The part of the story that’s always left out is that the Brown strategy was developed by Black queer AFAB lawyer Pauli Murray when she was a law student at Howard. Her profs told her it was a bad strategy. It’s the strategy that won. #BrownvBoard https://twitter.com/jnelsonldf/status/1526524880128294912

@nytimes Hidden in the draft is their intent to reinstate segregation, making it illegal for us to march or organize together. It’s specifically why Kavanaugh was nominated. #roevswade #brownvboard #segregation #mixedracemarriage #organizevotewin #élection2022
