On May 14th, 1954 school segregation was banned and white and colored kids could go to the same schools.

On October 29th, 1929 the Stock market crashed on Wall St. and it is also known as Black Tuesday. Billions of dollars were lost, inventors and people around the nation lost tons of money. This was the start of The Great Depression and the downward spiral of the economic downturn.
