Zora Howard, TheStriversRow - Before Bed
“See, I’m no piece girl, when I love, I give the whole of me.
So when they left the lease in pieces, they also left these holes in me…
Before we go any further, baby, will you listen to the kind of mess my heart’s been in?
…after all the best’s been torn away, will you want the rest of me?”

My body instantly visible and pliable
We were naked and raw and it didn’t feel wrong
Our hips like a tide
There was a sea beneath us

May 17, 1954: The Supreme Court Rules on Brown v. Board of Education
On this day in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which says that no state may deny equal protection of the laws to any person within its jurisdiction.
Although the decision did not succeed in fully desegregating public education in the United States, it put the Constitution on the side of racial equality and galvanized the nascent civil rights movement into a full revolution.
Can you name all the key players behind Brown v. Board of Education? Revisit the landmark case with PBS’ The Supreme Court site.You can also learn more about Brown v. Board of Education with “The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow” and explore more events of the Civil Rights Movement with PBS Black Culture Connection.
