Brown v. Board of Education was a United States Supreme Court case that paved the way for an inclusive and equal education for students. The case initially started in Topeka, Kansas with the Brown family suing the Topeka Board of Education for not allowing their children to attend the all white school that was located closer to their home. The case in Topeka was lost, but gathered the attention of the NAACP that was working with other families to get their students a fair and equal education. All the families cases were taken to the supreme court which resulted in a victory for the African American families and students everywhere.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination of others on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act forbids the discrimination of people on the basis of sex, as well as, race in hiring, promoting, and firing. These rules helped pave the road for the same equal rights for those with disabilities.

The Higher Education Act of 1965 was intended to allow students of middle to low income families to be able to attend colleges and universities with the financial assistance from the school they would be attending. The funds for the assistance would be from the funding provided to the colleges and universities and dispersed to students who applied and received approval for aid in the form of scholarships, grants, and loans. The act since 1965 has been amended at least eight times to meet the needs of students seeking a higher education.

I thought this would be an important video to share in this timeline because he goes into the importance of education for all students. Forgive that some of what President George W. Bush may be sensitive to some viewers in light of recent events that have happened to our brave soldiers overseas.

The link above is from the United States Congress website that provides explicit details about the law and how it has changed the way we as educators address students with disabilities.

This was a very important signing. I love how it was captured on video and was able to share it. This act modified and improved the No Child Left Behind Act presented by George W. Bush in 2001, which was already an improvement on the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
