Brown vs. Board of Education


The newspaper article above is from the Russell Daily News, a newspaper produced in Russell, Kansas. On the day that the Supreme Court released the decision to end segregation in public schools, the media went on a frenzy reporting the details of the court case. The Russell Daily News published two front page stories about the decision. This particular edition of the newspaper carried the report from D.C. in addition to the ruling.

This is another picture from the same time period, and it displays a mother explaining the decision of the court case to her young daughter.
