Exhibits detail the history of segregation in America, the Brown v. Board of Education court decision, and the legacy of the the case throughout the world. A restored early 1950s kindergarten classroom serves as a place for families to connect to history. Artifacts in the classroom, such as a flag with 48 stars, help visitors compare and contrast the classroom to their own memories of kindergarten. I happened to visit the same day as a student who attended the school in the 1950s. It was fascinating to listen to her reminisce about the original classrooms and routines.
