Next time you’re in Topeka, try to stop at the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site and Museum. It’s housed in a restored Monroe Elementary School, one of the four Topeka elementary schools that were reserved for African-American children under segregation. It gives a good overview of not only the Brown case but also the early struggles of African-Americans, the civil rights movement of the 1960s and some concerns of today. I visited it recently and was glad I did.
