Impact on Civil Rights Movement
The decision from the Brown v. Board of Education case advanced racial integration first in education, and eventually in public spaces, housing, and transportation. Brown tried to address past inequalities, promoted equal opportunities in public education, and extend equal protections of law for racial minorities.

Housing bases on income, white flight from public schools to private schools, parental school choice, and lack of funding can all be viewed as causes of de facto segregation. However, the core issue of de facto segregation is individual actions. The decision from the Brown v.

Therefore, the private actions of individuals were beyond the reach of the Brown
