Visiting Topeka with First Lady Michelle Obama

First Lady Michelle Obama is in Topeka, Kansas today to talk education ahead of the 60th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education.

Topeka is home to the historic case in which the Supreme Court's decision outlawed racial segregation in our nation's schools -- declaring education "must be made available to all on equal terms."

Tonight, the First Lady will celebrate the achievements of seniors from Topeka high schools at "Senior Recognition Day," and they'll be live streamed at 7 p.m. ET.

Watch First Lady Michelle Obama's remarks celebrating the high school seniors of the Topeka Public Schools:

Earlier in the afternoon, the First Lady will also meet with high school students participating in Wichita State's GEAR UP -- a Department of Education-funded program to help prepare more low-income students for higher education. The roundtable is part of her push to support Reach Higher, the First Lady's initiative to encourage young americans to complete education past high school.
