On May 15, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division issued a fact sheet highlighting examples of the Division's recent work to protect students and combat segregation and race-based discrimination in schools. The Civil Rights Division has worked for decades to ensure equal educational opportunities for all of America's schoolchildren, as promised by the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in "Brown v. Board of Education." May 17, 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the "Brown" decision's fundamental guarantee that education is a "right that must be made available to all on equal terms," and the Division renews its enduring commitment to confront school segregation and race discrimination through enforcement of Title IV and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
