(Final Draft). . Brown V. Board Of Education. . . . . .

The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case was a very important case for Americans. This case was a United States Supreme Court case in where the court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be against the constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in this court case changed the history of race relations in the United States. On May 17, 1954, the Court got rid of segregation by race in schools, and made all education opportunities equal as the law of the land. Without this case, we would not be where we are today. It shaped the United States completely as a whole. It was the first time something regarding race was put a lot of emphasis on. This case redefined our nation's values and ideals, and

Lawyers for Brown v. Board were sent from the NAACP. The NAACP was created in 1909 and stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Its mission is to protect the educational, social and economic rights minorities throughout the United States. One way the NAACP fought for equality was to supply lawyers for those whose rights were violated. (Benoit, 17-19)

The hopes of this case were for much more than just the school system, the colored people wanted to get this case to the top to abolish separate but equal. With Brown's complaint, it had "the right plaintiff at the right time." The NAACP saw this as the perfect time to strike because the case really was a true showing of how separate but equal was just not what it claimed to be, Brown had no problem getting other black parents to join in on the case, and, in 1951, the NAACP requested an injunction that would forbid the segregation of Topeka's public schools.

Board of Education in 1951 declared state laws establishing separate schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. The Brown v. Board of Education act would allow african americans to go to college with the whites, before this act african americans could go to school but not to college and the education that they had was horrific. The books that they used were that of the white schools hand me downs, so there for the things that they were learning were not up to date and if the teachers were african american they had around the same education if any. The act would also make James Meredith known as the first african american to attend the all white school of Ole Miss. James Meredith would also attend marches and other types of peaceful protest held by the NAACP. The Brown v. Board of Education act would change the life for many african americans.

The court case known as the Brown v. the Board of Education is notorious for the fight against educational segregation. The court case fought to show the people that “separate” cannot be “equal”. Things such as “The Doll Test and the Fourteenth Amendment” both reveal the truths about how exactly “seperate” cannot be “equal”.

In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States was confronted with the controversial Brown v. Board of Education case that challenged segregation in public education. Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark Supreme Court case because it called into question the morality and legality of racial segregation in public schools, a long-standing tradition in the Jim Crow South, and threatened to have monumental and everlasting implications for blacks and whites in America. The Brown v. Board of Education case is often noted for initiating racial integration and launching the civil rights movement. In 1951, Oliver L. Brown, his wife Darlene, and eleven other African American parents filed a class-action lawsuit against the Board of Education

This organization was founded in 1909 by sixty black and white citizens. In 1910 they published Crisis, a magazine that covered achievements for blacks in the arts, business and several other social fields. Most of the NAACP’s efforts where focused on anti-lynching laws and gaining civil rights for blacks without discrimination. When they heard of Oliver Brown’s problem they were eager to help. So in 1951 the NAACP requested an injunction that would outlaw the segregation of Topeka’s schools. Their defense was that not only were the schools inherently equal, what with the conditions of the schools themselves, but also that it was detrimental to black children’s education and future to be living with such segregation. Black children must learn to associate with white children who are a large percentage of the population in order for their curriculum not to be curtailed. The Board of Education’s defense was that black children should learn in segregated schools because they lived in a segregated society and would for the rest of their lives, therefore teaching them at a young age the way society is will prepare them for the future. They also argued that such blacks as Washington Carver and Frederick Douglas went to segregated schools and became great successes.

Board of Education angered some, opened the eyes of many, and relieved most of the African American population. Desegregating America was a long and hard process, and in some places it is still being worked on. This historic court case changed the way America was run, but it also gave people the courage to stand up for what they believe in. Brown v. Board of Education still inspires people who are “different” to fight for their freedom even today. Brown v. Board of Education is undoubtedly one of the most important court cases in United States history and will continue to change lives for a very long time .

The Brown v. Board of Education Court Case served as a highlighted issue in black history. Brown v. Board help different races comes together in public schools. This case became very big 1950s lots of attention was drawn to the case at that time. News reporter and critics had different views and opinions about this case. This case in 1954 causes lots of issues and views towards the black race. The quote “separate but equal” is vital due to “Plessy v. Ferguson” and the famous lawyer Thurgood Marshall who argued this case, and the success of this case itself.

The court decision in Brown applied only to public schools. It's impact, however, went far deeper. The ruling threatened the whole system of segregation. It helped many people see that it was time to oppose other forms discrimination. The decision also angered many white southerners, who became more determined to defend segregation. In 1955 the supreme court followed up it's decision in Brown v.  Board of Edu. With another ruling.

Segregation is a system that keeps different groups, whether it be religion or color, separated from each other with the use of physical barriers. In the Brown versus the Board of Education Case, segregation was all it was about. It was the most controversial court case in history for a long time. This court case took on segregation in the public school systems. This case made segregation very unconstitutional. The Chief of Justice in this particular case Earl Warren. This case led the way for the Civil Rights Movement. It created integration in the public schools across America. This helped to form a figurative path for all of America and influenced total segregation in the U.S. This event was important because it made way for total integration in all public school systems in the WHOLE united states.

Brown V. Board of Education is commonly considered the most important case to date regarding education and civil rights. Education as we know it, would be completely different if The Supreme Court had not ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. I am confident that another case would have come along and changed it later had they not won this case. History would be completely different regarding the war on Civil Rights if things had gone differently. Until this case, many states implemented laws mandating separate schools for white and black students. This historical case made the previous laws established during the former Plessy V. Ferguson case unconstitutional.

Brown v. Board had a major impact on the United States of America. It created a place that truly is free. Where all people are under the protection of the law. Where people of any color or religion or class can get along and have the same rights as any other person in this country. This case banished the mindset of “separate but equal” and established the new precedent of “together and equal and free.” That is why Brown v. Board is so

In 1950 the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) decided that it would no longer file lawsuits seeking equal educational facilities, but only those that sought to end segregated schools as a whole. In 1954, in a unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education overturned Plessy v. Ferguson and declared that separate schools were "inherently unequal." The Supreme Court postponed deciding on how to implement the decision and asked for another round of arguments. The Brown decision of 1954 was actually a judgment in five different lawsuits that had been consolidated because the principle to be decided was the same—the constitutionality of laws establishing separate schools for whites and blacks.However, the ultimate goal of every case was integration , breaking down the barriers of discrimination and segregation separating African Americans from the rest of American

Brown v. Board of education was a milestone for the Supreme Court. This case decided that racial segregation in schools was unconstitutional. This case signaled the end of legalized
