6:00 pm Welcome Reception
7:00 pm Panel Discussion
In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, join the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) and the NAACP for an evening of celebration and conversation as we honor the work of those who came before us and reignite our shared commitment to the future of educational equity.
On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously declared the "separate but equal" doctrine unconstitutional in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, marking a new standard for American education. This victory was the result of a multi-year campaign led by LDF and NAACP's visionary attorneys and brave students and families who dared to defy the status quo and envision a better, more just America. Now, seventy years later, we celebrate Brown's incalculable legacy and continue the transformative work to make education accessible and equitable for all.
Brown was just the beginning and realizing its promise requires continued action.
Lasting Legacy, Living Promise
