Today,
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz participated in the Law
Day event at his alma mater, Wingate High School, and joined in
the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Brown v. Board
of Education decision.
“50
years ago this past Monday, five years before I started at Wingate,
one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in American history
was handed down,” said Borough President Markowitz. “Today,
I urge you to appreciate the opportunities that you have, and to
preserve those opportunities by taking full advantage of your education,
whether at Wingate, college, or in graduate school.”
Brown
v. Board of Education was ruled on May 17, 1954.
