72 years ago today in Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court declared that racial segregation is unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment.
The fight for civil rights continues.

A three-judge panel has denied a request by Alabama for a stay, saying it lacks jurisdiction in the case which has been appealed to SCOTUS.
“Quite simply, we do not have the authority to issue an order that upends Alabama’s status quo, especially in the middle of an election, while our injunction establishing that status quo is well under review in the nation’s highest court.”
