The Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr. Institute was honored to host its fifth annual Scholars Conference from June 9–11, welcoming educators from across the nation to the historic Frank M. Johnson Courthouse. The conference provided teachers from a variety of disciplines—including history, government, science, and English—with opportunities to deepen their understanding of the judicial system and gain new tools and resources to bring back to their classrooms.

Seventy years ago, Judges Richard Rives and Frank M. Johnson, Jr. ruled that segregation on city buses was unconstitutional, a landmark decision that helped propel the broader Civil Rights Movement. As part of the Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr. Institute’s America250 commemorative series, we are honored to recognize the anniversary of this historic case and its lasting impact on our nation.

Thank you to the Junior Class from Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School for visiting the courthouse and learning more about constitutional rights.
