One of the most intense examples of this is the story of racial desegregation in schools—because the pursuit of equal rights for all affected every family and every child.

Ultimately, in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that segregation in public elementary and secondary schools was unconstitutional, violating equal rights.
