This is the gavel used in the court case of Brown v. Board of Education
This coin represents the 4 Brown v. Board of Education members.
Mr. Brown asked the school to desegregate so him and his daughter didn't have to walk so far to school. The court case took place in Topeka, Kansas on May 17, 1954. It later led to banning segregation in schools. This is important because even though it took a while to happen, it still came through and worked

This artifact is a photo of Rosa Parks mugshot and I think that she prpbably felt good about herself at the time because she stood up for herself.
This photo shows everybody getting onto the bus and shows what the buses used to look like and how it looked when everybody got on.
This photo shows Rosa Parks getting her fingerprints for being arrested and it just shows that sitting where your not allowed can get you arrested.
In the town of Mountgomery, Alabama, On December 1st, 1955, Rosa Parks got arrested for sitting in the ehiltes only section on the bus. A few days later on Decmber 5th, 1955, Rosa's Friends bailed her out of jail and decided to start a Mountgomery bus boycott to not ride the buses. After the bus company realized what they were doing they decided to desegregate buses. This is a very important event because it let blacks and whites sit together on buses.
