an hour to go to a school reserved for blacks. Her father tried to enroll her in a nearer school, but she was rejected for being the wrong race. With the N.A.A.C.P.'s help, Oliver Brown sued the Board of Education. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in the Browns' favor. Brown v. Board of Education started the civil rights movement, and began a slow but steady process of dismantling legal segregation. The following year, African Americans in Alabama were inspired to lead a…

they rejected her. Eventually, there were tons of other cases across the United States like Brown's. They took the case to court and they were turned away until they took it to the Supreme court. The Supreme Court decided to see their case and the Board of Education argued their case. Segregation was cleared for Linda Brown, and Linda Brown only. Linda could finally go to school, but the other children with the same problem, couldn't. Segregation was still a big problem, so they continued…

In 1954, seventeen states and Washington D.C. still had schools that were racially segregated; another four states allowed segregation on the grounds that it was up to the local school districts to decide (Benjamin Jr. & Crouse, 2004). The last major attempt to desegregate schools took place in 1896; however, this attempt was unsuccessful (Bergner, 2009). This decision did not stop people from fighting for equality. The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) began…

colored people. In Brown v. Board of Education colored children were not allowed to attend schools with white children under laws that required segregation by race. It all started when Linda Brown and many other children were denied admission into a whites only school called Sumner Elementary. Oliver Brown was the father of Linda Brown, he claimed that the segregation of children deprived them to equal protection under the 14th amendment. Brown filed a lawsuit against the Board of Education in…

The President Steps in at Little Rock: Was It Constitutionally Correct? School is defined as an institution of learning for children; after the Brown vs. Board of Education case, it was established that having the children separated by their ethnicities or race was wrong. The integration of the children into the schools was supposed to happen with all deliberate speed but with this new phenomenon of diversity came tremendous hostility amongst people mainly in the south. One place that faced…

History generally gives us the ability to make important distinctions between complicated issues that arise throughout time. In particular, there were two monumental cases that brings about change in perspective. Plessy v. Ferguson and Bradwell v. Louisiana both indulge in constitutional debates that shaped our current perspectives. Plessy v. Ferguson case reiterated the separate but equal clause, that the constitution is "color-blind," and that the facilities as long as they were equal, can be…

The PBS, “separate but equal” documentary focuses on how public schools’ education in Louisiana has depleted over time. The primary education facility is Woodlawn High school, a very diverse public school. Prior to the Plessey v. Ferguson Supreme Court case, it was a segregated school. Having an integrated public school gives minorities’ equal opportunity. However, a part of Baton Reus wants to segregate into its own separate city, called “St. George”. If the new district order were to happen,…

After listening to this sound bite, I see how segregation is still an issue in some parts of America. The school is Mississippi was still having segregated proms even though segregation was illegal. Hearing about this surprised me because I thought that there was no more segregation in any American schools. The school was integrated, yet the prom was not. A student who was interviewed even said that she thought it was strange. She stated that there were not many problems with racism in the…

Historically, the Supreme Court has made many bad decision where it chose to not strike down oppressive rights of racial minorities such as cases like Korematsu v. U.S. which allowed the removal of Japanese-American from the West Coast during WWII or the case of Plessy v. Ferguson which allowed racial segregation. Public opinion enacts some restrictions on unfair policies but with a government as large and complex as ours, many of its abuses are not known to voters, because we generally pay…
