"....a young girl ......that ended segregation of USA citizens in public schools in USA" Linda Carol Brown was born on February 20, 1942. Though she and her two younger sisters grew up in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, Linda was forced to walk across railroad tracks and take a bus to grade school despite there being a school four blocks away from her home. The USA and the elementary schools in Topeka being racially segregated, with separate and UNEQUAL facilities for COLORED "black and white" children of USA Citizens. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483, was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for different COLORED 'black and white students'.... to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL. "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." The decision effectively overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 ......racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major .........ordered states to desegregate "with all deliberate speed".

The candidate who questioned whether (President) Barack Obama was born in the United States, and who seemed to condone the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester at a campaign rally...

By Harmeet Kaur, CNN Updated 1:23 PM ET, Mon November 2, 2020 On November 2, 1920, African American residents of Ocoee, Florida, went out to cast their ballots in the presidential election -- no small task at the time. ... Florida politics had been dominated by White Southern Democrats, who fought to preserve slavery in the 1850s and had since obstructed African Americans from exercising their constitutional rights through violence, intimidation and legislation. But in the 1920 election, African American people in Ocoee were registering to vote in droves -- a reality that threatened the grip of white supremacy "State and local officials -- along with the Ku Klux Klan -- understood that white supremacy was in trouble," ......... "They responded mercilessly." .... to prevent African American people from voting, a White mob in Ocoee killed dozens of African Americans, set fire to their houses and drove them out of the community. .........It was "the single bloodiest day in modern American political history,"

On February 12, 1909, the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, a group that included African American leaders such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells-Barnett announced the formation of a new organization. Called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it would have a profound effect on the struggle for civil rights and the course of 20th Century American history. The conference that led to the NAACP's founding had been called in response to a race riot in Illinois. The founders also noted the disturbing trends of lynchings, which reached their peak not during or immediately after the Civil War but in the 1890s and early 1900s, as segregation laws took effect across the South and white supremacists once again gained total control of state governments. Many of the organization's early members came from the Niagara Movement, a group created by Black activists who were opposed to the concepts of conciliation and assimilation. .....the NAACP spread awareness of the lynching epidemic by means of a 100,000-person silent march in New York City. It also won a major legal victory in 1915, when the Supreme Court declared an Oklahoma "grandfather clause" that allowed whites to bypass voting restrictions unconstitutional. Perhaps its most famous legal victory came in 1954, when NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund founder Thurgood Marshall won the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Marshall went on to become the first African American Supreme Court justice in 1967. In addition to other legal victories during the Civil Rights Era, the NAACP helped organize the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, at which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, as well as the Mississippi Freedom Summer, a seminal voter registration drive. Due to its prominent members, landmark legal victories, and lobbying for laws like the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, the NAACP holds a place of distinction in the history of the civil rights movement. It remains the largest and oldest active civil rights group in the nation, and its emphasis on voter registration, legal defense and activism have set an example for subsequent groups to follow.
