64 pages. Illustrations. Format is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is the program from a gala "Honoring the Heroes of the Landmark Decision". Brown v.

In its first two decades, LDF undertook a coordinated legal assault against officially enforced public school segregation. This campaign culminated in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court decision in 1954. The Court's unanimous decision overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine of legally sanctioned discrimination, widely known as Jim Crow. …
