Friday, May 17, marks the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, when nine justices unanimously struck down "separate but equal" and ruled that schools segregated by race did not provide an equal education.
In recognition, President Biden is engaging in several activities to honor this pivotal moment in history. Today, he meets with plaintiffs and their families at the White House. Tomorrow he'll speak at the NAACP's anniversary event at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. On Sunday, he'll address graduates at Morehouse College.
Under Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Black household wealth has increased by 60 percent, over 2.5 million jobs have been created for Black Americans, and significant strides have been made in education, housing, and health care. Notably, Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman, to the Supreme Court. The administration says they are continually pushing for vital voting rights legislation to protect democracy for all Americans.
