Brown VS Board of Education
In 1954 Oliver Brown made groundbreaking history. Oliver was in a case called Brown vs Board of education, and I believe he made a meaningful change in equality in education and much more. The Brown vs Board of education trail was a equal rights movement. Oliver Brown Desegregated Schools and proved that “separate but equal” isn’t true.

The money that goes to schools is from the area people live in, so if you live in poorer less wealthy area your education won't be as good. The system we live in is still corrupt,and we still do have problems, but in the future we can only hope that they will be fixed with time and cooperation. We can look back and see how just a little under 60 years ago it was unheard of to even attend school with someone of a different skin color than you. We have come a long way and I'm hopeful to see what the future holds
