John Philip Sousa Junior High School, also known as John Philip Sousa Middle School. is located in SE area of Washington, D.C..

In 1950, eleven black students were denied admission to the newly constructed all-white Sousa school. This action was eventually overturned in the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision in Bolling v. Sharpe, which made segregated public schools illegal in the District of Columbia. This defeat of the principle of "separate but equal" marked an early victory in the modern Civil Rights Movement.
