The Post and Courier highlights IAAM event celebrating desegregation
Adam Parker writes,
“One of the most momentous Supreme Court decisions in the history of the United States was the school desegregation case Brown v. Board of Education. The order from the court to put an end to segregation came 70 years ago, and four institutions are marking the anniversary with public events.
The Thurgood Marshall Center Trust, based in Washington, D.C., is partnering with Charleston’s International African American Museum, the National Action Network and Charity Missionary Baptist Church to commemorate the anniversary and pay tribute to the NAACP attorney who played a leading role in the decision — and in other anti-segregation cases during the 1940s and 1950s.”
