Topeka Board of Education decision is a good example of how the citizens of America strive for impartial rights and to better the country. Desegregation came to be in order to end segregation. Segregation was unjust and hurt the African American population because they wanted equal rights. Segregation existed all over America, especially in the South; furthermore, school children were also affected by segregation. It was said that any child who was denied a good education would most likely not succeed in life (McBride). Psychological studies were done and proved that African American children had a lower self-esteem than White children (McBride). Desegregation helped African Americans feel equal, although it took several years for actual equality to exist between Blacks and Whites. White citizens treated Blacks very unfairly until the court case, Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, came to be and began desegregation. It took years in order for Whites to treat African Americans with equality and for them to get used to desegregation. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas took numerous years to be resolved; but once it was resolved, its final decision brought great change to the United States. This significant case helped shape modern America and spurred the civil rights movement
