1) Click the button below to read an article about this important court case.
2. Watch the short video below about the landmark case "Brown vs. Board of Education", which laid the foundation for the end of the Jim Crow era.

3. Although Brown vs. Board of Ed officially ended school segregation in 1954, many schools in the south of the United States still refused to allow black children to go to the same schools as white children. In 1960 a very brave 6-year old named Ruby Bridges became the first black child to go to a white school in the south. Read the article and watch the video below to learn more about it. There's also a good movie called "Ruby Bridges".

"The Little Orphan Annie" was a cartoon strip in the 1920's:
Then a musical was made, based on the cartoon strip. In 1982 the musical was turned into a movie. This version of "Annie" takes place during the Great Depression- a period of about 10 years in which many people were terribly poor and couldn't get jobs. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (or FDR) tried to help poor people by creating new jobs doing public projects like building parks and roads, planting trees, and fixing school buildings.

In 2014 another movie was made. This one takes place nowadays, in New York City.
