On September 4th, 2014 Texas Capitol Report published an article called 2004: 50 years of integration it was about the first black students to be admitted to Texas schools and is now the University of Texas College in El Paso, TX. At first the student was denied admission because she was black, but it was also due to the pressure of segregationists and other people who did not want her to go to this school. I believe that this is important to read because it was not very long ago that "The U.S Supreme Court decision in Brown v. the Topeka (Kan.) board of Education said laws mandating segregated public schools were unconstitutional." according to Texas Capitol Report. It is important to remember where we all came from and how far our nation has come since the end of segregation.
