Brown v Board of Education National Historic Site KS

The Monroe Elementary School now is home to many exhibits documenting the civil rights movement as it affected the schools of the USA.  At the start of the country, there had always been some limits on who could receive a public education with minorities generally being excluded.  While some exhibits were uplifting, for me in general I recalled witnessing horrific scenes and stories through the TV and print news of the day being replayed through those exhibits.  All those feelings came back even though much has changed.  And I wonder with all of the bitterness and hopeless feelings of today, could we revert back to some of our bad old times.
