Good evening, Madame President, board of trustees, um, cabinet, uh, all of our audience members. Uh, there was a presentation that was done in Sacramento for History Day, and it was such a a great presentation. I thought it was um a good idea to have this young lady come and share her podcast that she put together for a history presentation. and her name is Jasmine Burton. I'm gonna ask her and her teacher, Miss Sanders Sandival, to join us here. Right here. There you go. Hi, my name is Jasmine Burton from Victoria McGathan Elementary School. Thank you to the
008board for allowing me to present my National History Day podcast to you. I appreciate the Ottoanto School District for supporting me during this experience. I would like to read part of my process paper submitted to the National History Day competition on how I went about my research. I started researching why did the Brown versus Board start? Why were schools segregated and why was Linda Brown rejected from her school? Then I interviewed a elder from my church, Mother Bush, because I wanted to know how she grew up during that time with segregated schools with less rights. My best my best primary source was interviewing Mother Bush because she told me how her school would get old jerseys from white kids from white schools while the white kids would get new jerseys which is an example of
009their rights not being met. My best secondary source was blog li library gusu education because it showed me pictures of Linda Brown, the Supreme Court, and Oliver Brown, her father. To make my podcast more interesting, I added the Black National Anthem because it was a reminder to let us march on until victory is won by responsible citizens of United States of America. At the end of the podcast, I added Three Little Birds by Bob Marley because it talks about how Every Little Thing is going to be all right. In my podcast, I mentioned my thesis first. Then I talked about how the rights of colored students were not being met because of the segregated schools. After that, I talked about how about the Brown family went to the courts of the state of Kansas and
010was denied by the court. So instead they went to the Supreme Court where the where they changed the laws of segregation. In the in the last part of my podcast, I talked about how the effects of the Supreme Court decision, which was No, In the last part of my podcast, I talked about the effects of the Supreme Court decision, which was the schools w will no longer be segregated. And at this time, we're going to share a a small segment of her podcastation. On May 17th, 1954, the Supreme Court came to a final decision announcing that the state of Kansas and all the US will begin to make an attempt to protect the 14th amendment of black and brown students. Chief Justice Awarn concluded the case decision with, and I quote, "The doctrine of separate
011but equal has no place, separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." Despite the decision of the Supreme Court, Southern White segregationist politicians didn't want to fulfill the responsibilities of equal education and protested against the 14th Amendment like Governor George Wallace from Alabama. In the name of the greatest people that have ever tried this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny. And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever. The court's decision caused many reactions, either for or against it. It brought changes, but the most important was that the Brown versus Board of Education ended legal segregation in public schools. School districts today aim to ensure quality by state accountability systems, public participation, transparency, and diverse curriculum. We must be careful that segregation is never part
012of our schools. In the next audio, you will hear some inspirational words from our former first lady, Michelle Obama, in 2014. addressing seniors in high school at their appreciation day in Topeka, Kansas. The truth is that Brown versus Board of Ed isn't just about our history, it's about our future. This is Jasmine Burton. Thank you for listening and let's remember, it's our rights and responsibility to keep fighting for equality and equity in our schools. [Applause] It's hard to follow what she just did. Uh, good afternoon board members, executive board, Dr. Walker. I want to thank you for recognizing the amazing work from our students today and thank you for making sure our students are receiving an equal and equitable experience at Atlanta school district by improving experiences like our trip to the National History Day
