My aunt and uncle integrated an elementary school in the 1st grade 2 years after Ruby Bridges the ugliness they experienced and abuse they experienced from ADULTS as 6 year old children is UGLY my aunt, Ruby Bridges are still alive, this is not a long as time ago like folks want to make it seem.

I'm 66. This all happened within my lifetime, basically. Brown v Board was 2 years before I was born. Unbelievable. It's still happening. Unbelievable. 😭😭😭

You do such an good job of looking at things holistically. That black teachers suffered because of Brown v. Board of Education is a great example of that. And we have so much further to go as a society. Thank you for everything you do.

Segregation is still a major issue in many schools today. While not as blatant and egregious back then, many schools are still segregated

Last year, my history class focused on segregation. And boy let me tell you that it took multiple court cases to integrate schools. The resegregation that is going on today is more subtle than the overt segregation from those times. John Oliver did a video about this.

Sir thank you! Mad that we didn’t get taught more about this in public education.

Imagine not going to school for 5 years during your formative years and then having society demand you be a productive member of it. On the other hand it’s not the first or last time local communities shut down entire community services to prevent black people from using them smh

the alabama constitution, to this day, says that the state has no legal duty to provide an education to its citizens. you can guess who this affects the worst.

I still remember that I learned things about Brown V. Board and school segregation in American History but gave it back to the teacher lol. This needs to be educated more in public schools, like what I read in the comments!! I also think Rosa Parks needs to be educated in public schools these days, more!!

"schools for white students, on the other hand, often had drastically better resources". The sad thing is that nothing has changed. Sure, segregation isn't a thing anymore, but schools that are primarily white still have access to better resources thanks to school funding coming from taxes and how wealthy an area is. Segregation was technically outlawed, but in practice, a lot of elements of it still exist thanks to a corrupt, broken system.

Many of the key figures in the 1950s Civil Rights movement were WWII veterans tired of the United States lagging behind the rest of the democratic world. Oliver Brown and Medgar Evers are just two examples.

This comment won’t gain a lot of traction, but I believe it’s unwise to discount the efforts of the civil rights movement with phrases like “schools today are as segregated as they were in the late 1960’s.” I am confused as to why someone would say something like this. The video was a great help for a U.S. Gov student. Thank you guys.

One thing I’d like to know (even if it’s not important)…what was that incident, when the national guard had to make sure black children could go to a white school? I remember this scene from ‘Forrest Gump’ so vividly. I always thought it was connected to the Brown v. Board of Education case. :)
