Brown+v+the+board+of+education


 * What would break the back of Jim Crow America? What role did education play in the movement to desgregate America?**

Education was to desegergated Jim Crow America because first it will help blacks and whites learn to learn together, and also if it will reduce racist thinking by each generation then by the time other generations go to a mixed school then no one will have a problem with it.

Make a bulleted list of the basic facts of the cases brought to the Supreme Court -Slavery wasnt really legalized so kansas wasn't as bad as the deep south - "In 1950 the state capital, Topeka, operated four elementary schools for black children." -The white school was closer to her house than the black school -it was between her and multiple schools in the area -supreme courts thought the schools weren't equal and that they should intergrate -many disagreed List the major arguments of the plaintiffs -the supreme couart misinterpreted the 14 amendment and that equal does not mean speration. -the 14th amendment allowed the government to prohibit segergation -that phycologically there was a harmful effect on the minds of young african americans because of segergation.

List the major arguments of the Defendants -THe constitution did not require for white and black children to attend the same school -seperation was a regional custom -segergation was not harmful to black people -they were making a good effort equalize the educations between whites and blacks

What did the Court decide? -THe cout decided that brown was the winner and that the schools should in fact be segergated. What is the overall importance and legacy of //Brown v. Board// ? -basically to keep it simple the overall impact was that it reduced the amount of racist thinking because segergation was reduced. the short term cause was that people opposed the decision and it caused hostile feelings.Set the stage for civil rights movement and now that schools have been challenged other public accomidations can be challenged too.
