On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which ended constitutionally-sanctioned school segregation. The following year, the Court ordered school systems desegregated “with all deliberate speed.” In the 65 years since the Court mandated action on the part of school systems nationwide, the precedent has journeyed through the federal and state court systems, through our local public schools, and through legal scholarship. Visit the Harris County Law Library to visually experience the journey of the precedent in Brown v. Board of Education as it traveled “with all deliberate speed” through federal and Texas jurisprudence, including the 48 years separating the first federal district opinion and the opinion finally declaring Topeka’s schools to be desegregated.
