Exhibit on Brown v. Board opens at Topeka site
A new National Historic Site in the former Monroe School in Topeka recreates the experiences of black students integrating American schools. Visitors will walk through a Tunnel of Courage as jeering crowds and menacing dogs surround them, while galleries recount the Brown v. Board of Education cases and other desegregation struggles. The $11.3 million exhibit honors Linda Brown’s broader story and the children of Oliver Brown, highlighting civil rights leaders and the five cases that overturned segregation.
