He Brought God to Us (3 of 4)

Hebrews 10:19-20
In 1954, there was a landmark Supreme Court decision. It was Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education, which ended segregation in public education. It ultimately said that separate schools because of color were not equal. Did it stop racism in schools? Not so! But since then, when a lawyer stands up in a courtroom to address that issue if it needs to be, he can reference the Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education case to legitimize the rights of equal access to education.

In 1870, the fifteen the amendment gave the right to vote to all citizens and abolished on the books the denial to vote predicated on race, color, or previous conditions of servitude.
In 1964, there was the Civil Rights Acts, another landmark decision that gave equal opportunities to all. The act outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, reassured equal access to public places, and employment and enforced desecration of schools and the right to vote. It was a landmark decision.
And even though these landmark decisions did not prevent the efforts to resurface, did not remove some of the thinking.

If the ugliness, ignorance of those ways surfaces, and if oppression seeks to raise its head, the landmark decision is the there.
