Prior to the recent change, Huntsville City Schools still operated under the 1970 School Order that ended dual schooling based on race (Higgins). The Department of Justice did not like the way that Huntsville had the proposed school zones. The Department of Justice thought that Huntsville’s new school zones put African American students in more racially isolated schools. After this, both the Department of Justice and the school board began mediation to try to work on everything from the zone lines to racial inequalities in advance classes and teacher credentials. This school year the school board closed several schools and began to bus in students to help even out the racial numbers of each

In 1945, the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was brought to the Supreme Court. Thurgood Marshall, the lawyer who represented the African Americans, won the case. The Supreme Court ruled that segregation in schools was unconstitutional. Although these decisions were established, some schools in the South still did not allow African Americans into their schools. A plan was made by the Little Rock, Arkansas school board to gradually integrate the schools (2, page 1). There were two pro-segregation groups that assembled to protest against the plan. These groups were the Capital Citizens Council and the Mother’s League of Central High School. Even though this opposition took place, nine African American students registered at the Arkansas Central High School for the very first time in

One event that had an impact was the Brown VS Topeka board of education case 1954 which was the first case to challenge segregation in Kansas. Linda brown had to go to an African American only school and was not allowed to attend the local neighbourhood school despite her parents wanting her to. Linda Browns parents went to court backed up by their local NAACP lawyers who expressed in court evidence which showed that separate education created low self-esteem and was psychologically harmful. The National Association for the advancement of Coloured People (The NAACP) who were a group lead by black intellectuals aimed to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of minority group citizens of United States and eliminate race prejudice. They also stated that there was evidence that the educational achievement of students was restricted because of this policy. The case took 18 months and on 17th may 1954, a closing judgement was reached where Chief Justice Warren said that 'separate but equal has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.' Although a clear conclusion wasn't reached, some areas began to desegregate and by 1957, 300,000 black children were attending schools that had formerly been

At the Brown vs. Board of Education Museum, we learned that the Monroe schools in Topeka were not that different they basically had the same equality rights as white people. The books in the black school were the same books that the white children used in school. The only difference was blacks were in one and whites in the other.

The African American community finally had a taste of a short lived victory when on May 17, 1954 the Supreme Court issued the inequality of segregation of schools due to the Brown v.
