    Linda Brown was the child associated with the lead name in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, which led to the outlawing of U.S. school segregation in 1954. Linda Brown was born on February 20, 1942, in Topeka, Kansas, to Leola and Oliver Brown. Linda was forced to walk across railroad tracks and take a bus to grade school even with there being a school four blocks away from her home due to racial segregation. In 1950, the NAACP asked a group of African-American parents that included Oliver Brown to attempt to enroll their children in all-white schools, expecting that to be turned away. Oliver attempted to do so with Linda, who was in third grade at the time and barred from enrollment at Sumner Elementary.…

    Following the groundbreaking and overwhelmingly momentous Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the “separate but equal” policy was officially held unconstitutional. While many celebrated the decision as a testament to upholding racial equality, Southern white nationalists were not so thrilled with the decision. Thus, they created and submitted the Southern Manifesto, a legislative document condemning Brown as a violation of the balance of constitutional power between the nation and states. Moreover, in the Manifesto legislators contended that the “separate but equal” policy had become a “way of life” (Southern Manifesto on Integration) for the United States and that this decision “destroyed the amicable relations between…

    This is a heated age and the policy of affirmative action is a controversial topic. Ever since it was first introduced in the 1960s, the court has affected the use of affirmative action significantly because its rulings upheld the policy’s constitutionally and made it more acceptable to the public. To begin with, it is important to acknowledge that the court was not the only arena in which affirmative action policies have been challenged. It has also been challenged in arenas such as college admission and the job application process. In my opinion, the case of Brown v. Board of Education had a significant impact on the introducing the affirmative action.…

    It’s scary to think that only 61 years ago, American schools were still racially segregated, and African American children were kept away from white children. Earlier in 1896, a Supreme Court case called Plessy v. Ferguson made segregation legal as long as the facilities were equal (McBride). In the middle of the twentieth century, many people were working together to challenge these segregation laws. A man named Oliver Brown was one of the many people who challenged segregation laws when he brought the Topeka, Kansas school board to court. Brown v. Board of Education took place in 1954, and surprisingly, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Brown.…

    There is a perception that the American racist mentality is dead. However, this is not the case, seeing how the post- civil rights movement era is subtly reminiscent of the civil rights time period. That observation leads one to believe that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race. The reason that this perception that racism exist, is based on the ignorance society has toward the evolution of racism. Racism directed toward African Americans in the 20th century involved physical torment, which led to the destruction of the mind.…
