Today is the 58th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. It’s a day of great celebration on behalf of social justice!
In the case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. An earlier doctrine allowed for “separate but equal” facilities for black students and white students. But the Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education stated that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” Within months, the Court also required public schools to move forward with racial integration “with all deliberate speed.” The significance of the case was huge, given that education has a big impact on a person’s ability to participate more fully in society.
Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark case. But it wasn’t the first time the issue of segregated public schools had been raised. That path for justice was well-worn, long, and arduous.
Today, I celebrate this historic case and all those who played a role in it! I also pray for people who face discrimination in today’s world, that through persistence and faith, the walls of intolerance and injustice will one day come tumbling down.

Join us today for the Ask Sister podcast, a 
live podcast where you have the opportunity to engage with us and ask questions about faith, nuns, prayer, religious life, and pretty much everything in between!
What: Ask Sister LIVE Podcast
When: TODAY at 6 p.m. Central Time (your timezone)
Where: www.aNunsLife.org/LIVE
Here are some of the questions we’ll address in this Ask Sister podcast:
- Is it still a vocation if you’re attracted to a simple lifestyle in a convent community, but not so much to God and religion?
- The bible says that God punishes children for the sins of their parents. What does that mean? Isn’t life is hard enough with just our own sins?
- Would becoming a nun force someone to be a better person?
- According to scripture, wives are to submit to their husbands. Similarly, are nuns supposed to obey the pope?
