Today, my Legal Defense Fund colleagues and I continue to represent Black school children denied equitable educational resources—an ongoing impact of once state-sponsored segregation. This picture was taken after one of those hearings. #WeAreAllBrown
#WeAreAllBrown means we all benefit from the case that dismantled “separate but equal,” so we all must continue the fight for educational access and opportunity for all. Thank you, Rep. Bobby Scott Committee on Education & the Workforce Democrats, for being an #edequity champion. #BrownAt70
