On
October 26, 1992, the U.S. Congress passed Public Law 102 525 establishing
Brown V. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka, Kansas.
The site was designated to commemorate the landmark Supreme Court
decision of May 17, 1954, that ended segregation in public schools,
and the integral role of the Brown decision in the Civil Rights
Movement. The site's grand opening was May 17, 2004.
