55 years ago today, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Plessy vs. Ferguson with a 9-0 vote, and etablished once and for all, that separate educational facilities are NOT equal, and thus, ruling that apartheid in our public schools is unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment cites equal protection for all. Let us pause today to reflect upon this milestone of liberty and justice for all... and to consider just how far we have left to go. This struggle continues.
