America is unique for many reasons. People can choose what they believe in, from cultures to religions. Additionally, people learn to compromise and work with others with different beliefs. All of this is part of political socialization. Essentially, this is the process where people develop their political knowledge, values, and ideology. This often begins in childhood and continues throughout one’s life.

Linda Brown was a third grader in Topeka, Kansas, when her father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her in the white public school four blocks from her home. Otherwise, she would have had to walk across railroad tracks to take a bus to attend the nearest all-Black one. When she was denied admission, Oliver Brown sued. The case, and four others from Delaware, the District of Columbia, South Carolina and Virginia were combined and made their way to the Supreme Court.

Last week, I wrote about trends in school segregation in the 70 years since the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision that declared racial segregation in schools unconstitutional. That data showed considerable progress in integrating schools but also some steps backward, especially since the 1990s in the nation’s biggest cities.

Everyone can stand up for what they believe.
