THIS MORNING.
IT LOOKS LIKE BUT I IS MORE
READY TO TAKE A NAP THEN TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE 80s WE HAVE
OUR WAY.
WE ARE GOING TO TOP OFF IN THE
LOW TO MID-80s THIS AFTERNOON
AND BRING IN A VERY BREEZY WIND
WITH GUESTS ABORTS TO 50 MILES
PER HOUR IS THE PRODUCT USED
EDGE ITS WAY TOWARD CENTRAL
OHIO.
ALONGSIDE WITH THAT
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE ON
THE WARMER SIDE.
I THINK WE WILL BE WARMER THAN
AVERAGE.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
LONGER THE 80s WILL STICK
AROUND AND GIVE YOU A CLOSER
LOOK ON THE PINPOINT FORECAST.
65 YEARS AGO THE LANDMARK
SUPREME COURT DECISION OF BROWN
VERSUS BOARD OF EDUCATION
OUTLAWED SEGREGATED SCHOOLS IN
THE U.S. WE HAVE MORE DETAILS
ON HOW FAR WE HAVE COME AND HOW
FAR WE HAVE TO GO IN FULFILLING
THE PROMISE OF EQUAL EDUCATION.
Reporter: IT WAS A FIGHT
THAT LINDA BROWN'S PARENTS WERE
DETERMINED TO WIN.
THEIR DAUGHTER WAS AT THE
CENTER OF THE LANDMARK BROWN
VERSUS BOARD OF EDUCATION CASE
DURING A TIME WHEN JIM CROW
LAWS DOMINATED THE SOUTH.
THE BROWNS FROM TOPEKA, KANSAS
ALONG WITH OTHER FAMILIES
INCLUDING CATHERINE SAWYER WERE

DESEGREGATE SCHOOLS.
10-YEAR-OLD SAWYER WAS THE ONLY
CHILD TO TESTIFY.
SHE WASN'T ALLOWED TO ATTEND
THE WHITE SCHOOL IN HER
NEIGHBORHOOD. INSTEAD SHE TOOK
A LONG RIDE ON A PACKED CITY
BUS TO AN OVERCROWDED BLACK
SCHOOL ACROSS TOWN.
WE WOULD BE STANDING IN THE
YARD SOMETIMES.
I THINK OF ALL OF US WHO
COULD'VE HAD THAT SAME
OPPORTUNITY AND DIDN'T GET IT.
Reporter: DESPITE PROTESTS
THE SUPREME COURT RULED
UNANIMOUSLY THAT RACIAL
SEGREGATION IN SCHOOLS WAS NO
LONGER LEGAL.
WE BELIEVE THIS DECISION IN
ITSELF WILL ENCOURAGE THE
PEOPLE.
Reporter: TODAY TO PICK THE
HIGH SCHOOL IS VERY DIFFERENT
THAN IT WAS.
I LEARNED MANY DIFFERENT
THINGS FROM OTHER TYPES OF
PEOPLE LIKE SEXUAL ORIENTATION,
RACE, GENDER AND EVERYTHING.
TOGETHER WE FORM A BETTER
GROUP RATHER THAN BEING
SEPARATED.
Reporter: IT IS NOT ALL
BETTER.
RECENTLY SEGREGATION FOR BLACK
STUDENTS HAS EXPANDED IN MOST
OF THE COUNTRY.
THE NUMBER OF MOSTLY BLACK
SCHOOLS MORE THAN TRIPLED
BETWEEN 1988 AND 2016.
RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU
THINK MORE SHOULD BE DONE TO
INTEGRATE SCHOOLS.
THE PERSPECTIVES OF
DIFFERENT RACES NEXT THE SCHOOL
A BETTER PLACE OVERALL.
Reporter: STUDENTS
UNDERSTANDING THE PAST AND
