Another Day, Another President
Early morning in West-central Missouri.
West through a maze of freeways in Kansas City and into Kansas.
First stop, Brown v. Board of Education Visitor center in Topeka, KS.
The visitor center is in the school that was attended by some of some of the children who were the subjects of the suit.
The National Historic Site commemorates and explains the landmark Supreme Court decision that began the end of segregation. Very well done and informative displays in a neat old school – complete with creaking floors :).
Another hour west to Abilene. Dwight Eisenhower grew up here. The Eisenhower Center includes museum, library, chapel/grave, house, and grounds.
Chapel. Window in opposite end of chapel.
Graves of President and Mrs.. Eisenhower
Eisenhower home
Statue on grounds.
