Ferguson followed by Oliver Brown v.s Board of Education.

    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.…

    This was very inconvenient for many people and their education quality was not the same as the White’s school. Although you do not have these legal laws anymore, there are parallels to the present laws. For instance, during the Jim Crow Laws era, students were segregated based on skin color and social class. Now, you see children in public schools having unequal education because of being working class minorities. The families living there cannot afford to pay for better school education, and the society has not helped by giving the poor and corrupt school systems.…

    The Supreme Court said, "Laws which keep the races apart do not mean that one race is better or worse than the other" but in reality, that was exactly what it meant. Blacks were soon seen as a second-rate race, and this was not only in the South. Although Northern states had no official Jim Crow laws, racism spread throughout the whole country. In 1916, US President Wilson, the most powerful man in the world, said, "Segregation is not humiliating and is a benefit for you Black gentlemen," - he clearly had no idea how blacks felt, but they couldn't tell him. Protesters complained to the White House, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.…

    The civil rights movement was a collection of events, protest, and court rulings that finally ended segregation after almost 100 long years of segregation. Two important events that occurred as part of the civil rights movement were the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, and the Montgomery bus boycott. Both were instrumental in ending segregation, and both made large contributions to the Civil Rights movement in different ways. After examining the facts surrounding both I have come to the conclusion that one event did more to advance the civil rights movement than the other, that event is the Montgomery Bus Boycott.…

    Segregation first became legal in the 1896 case of Plessey v. Ferguson. The Supreme Court made it legal because they thought that even though blacks and whites wouldn’t be able to use the same public facilities, the facilities for blacks were equal to the white facilities. These facilities weren’t even close to being equal. The state funded white schools well, while black schools didn’t really get anything. If the black schools did have books, they were usually old and out-dated books.…

    Thomas Frank in the essay, Commodify Your Dissent, argues that American culture has become dependent on rebellion. Frank supports his argument by illustrating the social norms in America during the 1950s with the suburban correctness. For example, he discusses how society respected authority, a mass majority of people attended church, and sexual repression (Frank 152). Then Frank dives into the social rebellion following countercultural ideas. Thomas quotes Jerry Rubin stating “Amerika says: Don’t!…
