Isaiah Montgomery was born into slavery at Davis Bend, the plantation of Joseph Davis, the brother of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Southern Confederacy. His father, Benjamin, had managed the plantation for Davis until the end of the Civil War and was able to purchase it after the war. He established a prosperous colony of fellow freedmen for several years, but agricultural prices fell and severe winter flooding ruined their levees. When his loan fell overdue, the property was sold back to the Davis family. Ben Montgomery died in 1877, but his dream of establishing an independent black colony was taken up by his son Isaiah, who later founded the settlement of Mound Bayou.



brown vs. board of education


 * //Brown v. Board of Education// was not simply about children and education. The laws and policies struck down by this court decision were products of the human tendencies to prejudge, discriminate against, and stereotype other people by their ethnic, religious, physical, or cultural characteristics. Ending this behavior as a legal practice caused far reaching social and ideological implications, which continue to be felt throughout our country. The //Brown// decision inspired and galvanized human rights struggles across the country and around the world.
 * The U.S. Supreme Court decision in //Brown// began a critical chapter in the maturation of our democracy. It reaffirmed the sovereign power of the people of the United States in the protection of their natural rights from arbitrary limits and restrictions imposed by state and local governments. These rights are recognized in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
