School integration in Washington, D.C., photograph by Thomas J. O'Halloran, 27 May 1955.
Depicted here in the foreground are a line of Black and White school girls while boys seated behind look on. The Supreme Court of the United State's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) declared racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment, paving the way for integration.
