I really enjoyed both films completely. Both films give me a greater grasp on my heritage. In the first film, I liked the way it opened up with the American flag waving and the words on top of it. I liked the way they got most of the story from an actual source/witnesses that was there. For example, Mary Frances Berry, she saw the headlines on the case against the board of education and could quote what her teacher said. I liked the vintage films they stuck in the film so that you would not have…

Allowing her and many other people like her to go to the all-white school. It was Thurgood Marshall that stated that the court could rule in opposition to Linda Brown in NAACP and that they had all legal right too although what they would have opposed to wouldn’t have been…

As the only dissenting opinion in the ruling, Justice Johns Marshall Harlan, he agreed with Plessy that the act was in fact in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment by imposing a badge of servitude. Harlan was an individual who decried the views of the Ku Klux Klan—white supremacy. Harlan went on to note “Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.

The Source argues that black Americans were in a disadvantaged position and that they did not have…

the Plessy decision and set the stage for change in segregated public areas as well. African Americans were ignited by seeing the legal support for more equality.

person who fought for legal rights. I think of Thurgood Marshall. Mr. Marshall was very instrumental in ending legal segregation. Being a native of Baltimore.

Although he was overqualified academically, he was rejected because of the color of his race. He attended law school at Howard University in Washington, DC. After law school, Mr. Marshall attempted to establish his own…
