Chief Justice Brown Fuller Court Case

In the case of Robert Tolan and Marian Tolan vs. Jeffrey Wayne Cotton, I will be discussing what interest me about this case. I will also deliberating on the liability and criminal liability of this case. The Tolan vs. Cotton case interests me because the United States have so many police that are brutalizing citizens. In some cases the police officers are getting away with it. After reading, reviewing, and studying this case I have learn a lot about the criminal system and laws that men and women should obey. I will explain how the nine judges on the Supreme courts all came to a verdict against the police officer Jeffrey Cotton after he shot an innocent suspect. This people

The Brown vs. Board of Education was a turning point for American history, because it began the road to integration starting with the Linda Brown and Ruby Bridges with the assistance from the Little Rock Nine. The supreme court case strived to put an end to segregation in public schools. The Supreme Court consolidated the Brown vs. Board of Education as one case, given that it was five separate cases. The case was handled by Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. Having two separate court decisions, the unanimous court case ended segregation in public schools and overturned the Jim Crow Laws.

Brown Vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas was a huge American milestone throughout history, as it began the longstanding process of trying to deplete segregated schools and creating racial equality. This event marked the beginning of racial integration, starting with the schools. Many people failed to understand that segregated schools were not equal in quality, which further created tension among the African-American families and started many movements. When this case became headline news it was deemed important due to the fact that if passed then all public schools would have to integrate. This court decision created enormous controversy throughout the United States because of the simple fact that some people believed that this

Brown v. the Board of Education was a case that helped shaped America’s education system into what it is today. ‘Separate but equal’ is phrase well attributed to the civil rights movement in all aspects of life: water fountains, movie theaters, restaurants, bathrooms, schools, and much more. This phrase was coined legal in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Plessy v. Ferguson said that racial segregation of public facilities was legal so long as they were ‘equal.’ Before this even, Black Codes, passed in 1865 under President Johnson legalized the segregation of public facilities including schools. In 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified guaranteeing all citizens equal protection under the law. Still, though, blacks were not given equal opportunities when it came to voting, schooling and many other inherent rights. 1875 brought the Civil Rights Act that prohibited the discrimination in places of public accommodation. These places of public accommodation did not seem to include educational facilities. Jim Crow Laws become widespread in 1887, legalizing racial separation. These downfalls were paused by development of the Nation Association for the Advancement of Colored People that was founded in 1909. This association began to fight the discriminatory policies plaguing the country, especially in the southern areas. Finally Brown v. the Board of Education fought these decisions, stating that ‘separate but equal’ and discrimination allowed by the latter decisions did not have a

Oliver Brown stood as the representative plaintiff in the case Brown vs. Borad of Education. He felt so strong about segregated shools, becuase his daughter was denied entrance of a whiteschool located in Topeka Kasas. Although many people dealt with the

Abolitionists were very active during this time in history. After they became aware of this case, they decided to become involved on behalf of the Africans. They were to use this case as a means of publicizing the evils of the African slave trade and slavery itself.

This case really upset many abolitionists, and helped lead to the civil war. It lead to many things, such as the John Brown Raids. It was very empowering for the southerners because it gave them hope that slavery could continue to be everywhere, and expand out west. No matter where a slave resided, they were not considered to have true freedom. This left little opportunity for slaves and northerners. Soon Lincoln took office, and he had a very strong opinion that slavery should be illegal. All of these things combined lead to the secession of the

The Morse v. Frederick landmark Supreme Court case paved the way for the manner in which authority intervention can occur within the public school setting. As the case made its way from district court, to appellate court, to the final Supreme Court destination, it saw many opinions, differing verdicts, and arguments. Through this process, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Morse, which mirrored my opinions and understanding of the case.

It was a landmark case that is historic till this day. A black man was imprisoned for not leaving a "white" only area. This case helped with the "seperate but equal" law. Although we have this law, not everybody treats other people as equal.

The 13th stated, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been dully convicted, shall exist within the United states, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” And the 14th also states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States...are citizens of the United States… Every citizen is counted as a full person.” But yet eight of the nine justices weren’t convinced and the ruling remained guilty. One of the justices, named Henry Brown, stated the law was founded in the color of the two races, and distinction among the two would always be there.

Prior to the Public Safety Realignment initiative, “more than 60,000” offenders who violated their parole returned to prison every year. With more low-level inmates returning to state prisons, California was ordered to reduce the inmate population by “33,000 in the state’s 33 prisons” in a two-year period. The primary reason for this was due to the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation no being able to afford inmates acceptable healthcare. Two class action law suits were brought about in November of 2006 (Plata v. Brown and Coleman v. Brown), the dispute was that because of overcrowding the CDCR was unable to provide adequate healthcare to prison inmates. The Coleman v. Brown case entailed the mentally disordered housed in

The case was about a colored person trying to gain respect for the colored people that were treated badly. Plessy sat in a white person's seat at the court when they were challenging the law and he got arrested for doing so. He said that he was black and caused him to get arrested. Plessy said that he doesn't care if their are two factories as long as they are treated equal. Henry Brown said that our constitution was color blind and only cared about the whites. Plessy says that every human being should be equal depending on their skin color. He wanted the public, restaurants, restrooms, theaters, and public schools to allow blacks and whites to be treated equal.

During this case, it was not just about the segregation of the adults, but the children to. The children took a part of the segregation. After all, the case was started because of the children’s education being separated. The children were affected because of the change especially when they were accustomed to being separated from each other where the whites were together as one and the African Americans were also together as one. When things changed and the whites and African American ended up together as one it was hard for them for a while. People of all races should be able to enjoy equality under the law in the united states. African American children wanted equal protection under the laws as promised by the fourteenth amendment. Today children of all color and race attend the same school. Whether it’s a boarding school or a public school. This particular case changed history for young students all around the world. This case contributed to a huge part of history and that’s because If Mr. Brown had never tried to enroll his 8 year old daughter Linda in Sumner Elementary, and the principal 's refusal, then little African American children would still be treated bad, and un-humane. Children would be going to different schools still, and world would still have a little segregation in it. Although then, Mr. Brown was not the first African American to try to enroll his child in an all-white school, but his case was not only the last, but the most
