Recap of the #Brownat60 National Week of Action
Recap, pictures and video from #Brownat60 nationwide events and how you can stay involved!
This past Saturday was the 60th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. Parents, students and educators nationwide marked the anniversary with a National Week of Action to demand our country renew its commitment to Brown’s vision of equity and opportunity in education.
On May 13, over 500 people from around the country joined the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools for a Week of Action kick off rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court. At the rally, Alliance member organization Journey for Justice released a report, “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” and filed three Title VI complaints documenting the harm that corporate reform strategies like school closures and charter expansion have on public schools.
Read a full recap of the rally and watch the video recording here. And view (and share!) pictures from the event here.
