Key Moments in the Civil Rights Movement: Education
 * Notes:**

1) May 18, 1896: In Plessy vs. Ferguson, the US Supreme Court rules that “Separate but Equal Facilities” are legal.

2) May 1909: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) holds its first national conference.

3) May 17, 1954: In Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, the US Supreme Court rules that “Separate but Equal” does not apply to public education, overturning Plessy vs. Ferguson.

4) Dec. 1, 1955: Rosa Parks is arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat on the bus for a white man. The resulting bus boycott, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, lasts a year.

5) Jan. 23, 1956: Daisy Bates tries to lead 27 Black students into “White” schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. They are refused entry.
