Brown v. Board of Education 70th Anniversary
Nov. 7 and two future dates to be announced: Our panel discussions look to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court case that transformed the landscape of American education. Participants will reflect on the case's historical significance, its impact on desegregation and the challenges that persist in achieving educational equity. Join us as our panelists share insights on how Brown v. Board continues to shape the pursuit of equal educational opportunities for all students. This program was made possible with a grant from the Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy. A special thank you to our valued partner, the Office of Outreach and Community Engagement within the UB's Graduate School of Education.
