Segregation in Kansas City Through Schooling Could you imagine not being able to go to school somewhere for having naturally blonde hair? That would be ridiculous, right, you have no control over what color hair you were born with. Well not so long ago people weren’t allowed in certain places just because of their natural skin color, something they have no control over.

innovated a number of Constitutional law doctrines in order to fight the pervasive discrimination of Jim Crow. Describe two such doctrinal innovations—how did the law change from previous interpretations and what are the specific case examples? Brown v.

Firstly, while the decision undermines the federal system that the 1787 constitution creates and forces the federal courts to micromanage local school boards without the proper implementation powers, this shortcoming shows the executive branch assisting with the implementation and therefore legitimating the decision of the judiciary. The Brown decision undermines…

During slavery and far beyond its end, Americans racial ideologies were used to sustain the white races position, and even scientists in general (Ferraro, and Andreatta, 2015, p. 308). White Americans saw blacks as unteachable, simple beasts, regardless of the fact that their treatment of slaves, and the restrictions they placed upon them were constructions meant to keep them from learning more than was necessary to do the work expected of them. However, one cannot help but learn, even when…
