Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park
Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park, Civil rights historic site in Topeka, United States.
Monroe Elementary School building stands as the central structure of this National Historical Park, which documents the fight against educational segregation.
The Supreme Court's unanimous 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education case at this location declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
The site presents exhibitions and materials that illustrate the long journey toward racial equality in American education through multimedia displays.
Located at 1515 Southeast Monroe Street, the National Historical Park offers free admission and guided tours from Tuesday through Saturday.
The park connects to five additional affiliated school sites across multiple states, forming a network of locations central to school desegregation history.
