Robert Russa Moton Museum

 

 

This site [R. R. Moton High School] possesses National significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.On this site in 1951 the student body walked out in protest of unequal educational facilities. The resulting school desegregation lawsuit was part of the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board, which concluded that “in the field of public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place.”
