Home to the first African-American kindergarten west of the Mississippi River, Topeka became the home of Linda Brown, the named plaintiff in Brown v. Board of Education which was the case responsible for eliminating the standard of "separate but equal", and requiring racial integration in American public schools.
Here's a little factual history of racial segregation in the Great State of Kansas.
Anyone remember Brown v. Board of Education? Of course not because your mouths
run faster than your brains.
African Americans had to sue in Kansas to get access to educational equality. So, hey kettle,
you're black, so to speak.
At the time the suit was filed, only the elementary schools were segregated in Topeka.
Monroe Elementary, a segregated school that figured in the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision, is now
Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site with interpretive exhibits. The National Historic Site was opened by
President George W. Bush on May 17, 2004.
Topeka has struggled with the burden of racial discrimination even after Brown. New lawsuits attempted unsuccessfully to
force suburban school districts that ring the city to participate in racial integration with the inner city district. In the late 1980s
a group of citizens calling themselves the Task Force to Overcome Racism in Topeka formed to address the problem in a more organized way.
Yea, you guys have a long history of racial tolerance in Kansas.
Integration lawsuits BEGAN in Kansas, yet they utter the word "racist" as lame attempt to belittle.
Not only are you stupid, but, you don't read much, either.
