The Fourth of July means something different to me than celebrating our freedom from British colonial rule and the wars we’ve fought in the name of that freedom. To me, the 4th should be Interdependence Day dedicated to abolishing ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) and ending money bail.

Recently the team at the UUA Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries discussed how February being “Black History Month,” March being “Women’s History Month,” and June being “LGBTQ History Month” is positive because it raises up awareness of the history and contributions of these marginalized communities. But we also realized it relegates the history - and current imperfect condition of oppressed or marginalized groups in American society - to time-boxed public awareness. We think this is wrong because we have much to learn in the present moment by lifting up the stories of people who fight or suffer oppression all of the time. On this day in 1954 the United States Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision on school segregation, unanimously ruling in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka that segregation in public education is illegal. The court decision famously states that in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. In this post we lift up Linda Brown, of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka: student and life-long activist for equal access to public education.
