Brown, Frank. "The First Serious Implementation of Brown: The 1964 Civil Rights Act and Beyond." The Journal of Negro Education, vol. 73, no. 3, 2004, pp. 182-190. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4129604. The value of the origin of Frank Brown’s article “The First Serious Implementation of Brown: The 1964 Civil Rights Act and Beyond” is that it is found on JSTOR, which is a fairly reputable research database. JSTOR has thousands upon thousands of quality materials ready to be used for research, such as this one. This is valuable because it makes the sources trustable.

JSTOR has an endless amount of quality materials designed to be used for research. This is valuable because it makes the sources extremely reliable. JSTOR will not reference materials from weak or unusable sources. The limitation of the origin is that Frank Brown, who is the author of the article, is practically anonymous. The research database, JSTOR, proves little information as to who he is, therefore, making it difficult to discover any intel into his background. Also, other databases and websites provide little information as to what his true identity is. The only links that appear are for other Frank Brown’s, who happen to be completely unrelated to this research. For example, a football players name came up when searching for who Frank Brown really is. The value of the purpose is that it provides an overview of the Brown v. Board of Education case, as well as the previous cases before it. The article includes the decision that the Supreme Court ruled and quickly reflects on whether that has led to equal education among African American students and their counterparts 50 years after. This is valuable because it addresses if desegregation has actually affected African American students not just in primary or secondary schools, but in all educational institutions, including colleges and universities. A limitation of the purpose is that it is just an excerpt that is short. The article just summarizes up every part of the

    However, Strauss responds to this first argument by explaining that the “separate but equal” policy was not successful or fundamentally sound, rather, legally and practically it had been on the decline for decades. Specifically, Strauss explains that with Supreme Court case after case, the courts realized that determining what was equal in separate facilities was difficult in itself, but also they were encountering several cases such as McCabe, in which black law students were forced to attend school out of state, in which state government were explicitly exploiting separate but equal policies to provide the same opportunities to blacks but certainly not equal opportunities in quality. Thus, what we see is that clearly these separate but equal policies were not simply a way of life and not a testament to amicable relations between blacks and whites. On the contrary, separate but equal policies were left “hanging by a thread” (Strauss) due to the progression of Supreme Court cases ruling constitutional statutes invalid because of the lack of equal opportunity for blacks and whites.…

    In 1994 then-president of the college Doug Orr sent a memorandum to the campus community announcing that all regular activities would be temporarily suspended in observance of three major events. MLK day, the college’s centennial, and the admission of Alma Lee Shippy in 1952, which he described as “a significant event in the history of Civil Rights and higher education in the United States South.” Two years before Brown v. Board of Education took place, Shippy’s admission, and the admission a year later of Georgia Powell, took place peacefully and without apparent resistance from white students or the surrounding community. Studying, living, dining, and taking part in extracurricular activities, this smooth integration seems an anomalous blip in the public consciousness and memory…

    1) During the New Deal and Great Society Eras the Supreme Court innovated a number of Constitutional law doctrines in order to fight the pervasive discrimination of Jim Crow. Describe two such doctrinal innovations—how did the law change from previous interpretations and what are the specific case examples? Brown v. Board of Education is an excellent example of doctrinal innovation that changed its interpretation from previous precedent such as in Plessy v. Ferguson. This changed the interpretation of the 14th amendment Equal Protection Clause. When the 14th amendment was ratified in 1868, the framers had a very narrow interpretation of equality and whom it pertained to.…

    1950s America was a very difficult time for African American communities. Segregation was at its peak, and the country as a whole was experiencing growing pains while trying to make acceptance of African Americans a common way of life. During this time many court cases had been filed in attempts to help move this progression further along. One of the court cases involved is known as Brown V Board of Education. Brown V Board of Education involved an African American man by the name of Oliver Brown.…

    This court decision helped break the back of state-sponsored segregation, and provided a spark to the American civil rights movement (History, 2009). Once the court decision came to be, many African Americans were happily entitled to a higher level of education beyond racial, cultural, and unconstitutional limitations. Consequentially, education has dramatically been altered in the same way as culture and human evolution. Education at some point in history had limitations based on skin color and race. The Brown and Board of Education court decision, for example, has…

    Shortly after the end of World War II, America was faced with a new, domestic issue: The Civil Rights Movement. Although the movement began much earlier than this, it wasn’t brought to America’s priority until the war ended. The Supreme Court’s decision in Brown vs. The Board of Education case sparked the attention of many Americans to the struggle for school integration. This court decision then started an entire civil rights crusade that would change social life in America forever. Such a significant cause needed very strong and dedicated leaders, and no one else best fit those positions than Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. While both leaders strove to reach the same goal of racial equality, the two had very different methods in which they endeavored…

    Brown vs Board of Education Imagine going to school day after day and constantly feeling inferior. In the early 1900s, African American teenagers had to feel this way every single day due to the fact that they were shutout and mocked. North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Arkansas all were challenged by racial segregation in public schools. “In 1954, large portions of the United States had racially segregated schools, made legal by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which held that segregated public facilities were constitutional so long as the black and white facilities were equal to each other” (McBride). Yet, this was not the case.…

    The ‘equality’ looked good on paper but reality was rarely the case, especially when it came to schools. Substandard buildings, supplies, and transportation often made the educational experience for African Americans inferior to whites. It wasn’t until 1954 with the ruling of Brown v. Board of Education that segregation in schools was made unconstitutional (Document 2), based on the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. In order to become integrated, some schools were forced to resort to bussing their students in from other areas (Document 3a) – although the ruling took care of ‘de jure’ integration of society (that which is imposed by the federal court system), it did little to immediately reverse the ‘de facto’ segregation of society, especially in the South (‘de facto’ implies that which has become the unwritten law of social classes and segregated residential areas themselves). Long-term effects of the decision were more dramatic, however.…

    After a long process the Warren Court not only declared segregation as a violation of civil liberties but also that segregation “deprives children of a minority group of equal educational opportunities- to separate them from others their age and qualifications solely because of race generates a feeling of inferiority in their status in society- may affect their hearts and minds in a way that cannot be undone”. This along with the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, which the court cited as being violated by segregation as a whole. With the decision of desegregation made by the Warren Court, sparked a new era in civil rights; the modern civil rights era. Today there are a multitude of civil rights movements that deal with the education of minorities. One such movement is in the favor of black children being able to get better education than that found in inner-city schools through private or religious schools.…

    ASAP academic advisor and professor, Uriah Brown, published The Black Bubble on December 11, 2015. The Black Bubble was a term he created to portray the bubble that the African Americans had been placed in as well as known as “the black experience.” “The Black Bubble is a term I created. It means, that black people have been placed in it and this bubble represents a barrier to success where African Americans cannot move up the ladder to become successful CEO’s, managers, directors,” said Brown. “They can’t move up in an organization because of racism.…

    When blacks first set foot in America they were bonded and sold as slaves. After the Civil War and the reconstruction era many black slaves gained freedom and certain rights. Because they were still considered lower class education for blacks was not a right. Their social status prevented them from attending an all-white school in their community. There was a man named Oliver Brown who was a minister who challenged “Kansas’s school segregation laws” in court.…

    Fast forward to the 21st century, where many chose to believe that the election of a Black president for two terms substantiates that race is no longer an issue in the United States. However, due to long periods of injustices and institutional policies, practices and culture, racism is entrenched in our society. Race and racism continues to permeate our everyday lives whether we chose to acknowledge its stronghold or its pervasiveness. Although racism is prominent in all aspects of our society, for the purpose of this writing, I will explore the Civil Rights Movement as it relates to education equity for people of color.…

    Within the United States’ culture, racist and sexist ideologies permeate the social structure and serve as norms to such an extreme degree that they become hegemonic and seen as common and natural. From corporate institutions, to religious institutions, to academic institutions, Black women have been slighted the opportunity to be seen as equals when it comes to their counterparts. The education of African American students and women alike have been influenced by a number of institutional and social reforms. The movement from legally denying African American students the opportunity to an education; to the separate but “equal” educational system; to the integration of the American schools; these remedies attempted to afford African Americans an education and fight the pattern of injustice and discrimination. Women and Blacks can theoretically…
