May 17, 1954: The Supreme Court Rules on Brown v. Board of Education
On this day in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which says that no state may deny equal protection of the laws to any person within its jurisdiction.
Although the decision did not succeed in fully desegregating public education in the United States, it put the Constitution on the side of racial equality and galvanized the nascent civil rights movement into a full revolution.
Can you name all the key players behind Brown v. Board of Education? Revisit the landmark case with PBS’ The Supreme Court site.You can also learn more about Brown v. Board of Education with “The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow” and explore more events of the Civil Rights Movement with PBS Black Culture Connection.

The City of Minneapolis lit up the I-35W bridge and the Lowry bridge like this tonight in celebration of same-sex marriage being legalized in Minnesota today.
This is amazing.
Meanwhile across the border in North Dakota, legislature actually voted down a bill that would make it illegal to fire or deny someone housing on the basis of sexual orientation. Amongst all their other horrifically conservative actions.
