Brown v. Board of Education

Many years ago, black and wrote couldn't mix. As many of you may know, back in the old time, America viewed black people as a piece of property, therefore, they were forbidden from many things. As time goes by, things got much better but even so, when blacks were allowed to do certain things in public, they were segregated. Even though, they were able to do these things, they were treated inferior to the whites, so they kept them away as way to not spoiled them. They had a saying "segrated but equal" trying to convince people that black people were equal to white people but blacks were treated terrible. During the early stage of civil rights movement (1950s), the board of education was challenged in the case of Brown v. Board of Education

  This case is about a kid who wanted to go to a certain school and this school refused because of her skin color. Her parent and the community took it to the distance and challenge this decision in which the court decided in their favor. They found that an earlier case "Plessy v. Furgenson" which allowed segregation of school by race to be unconstitutional. They overturned that earlier case and unanimously favored the desegregation of school.

  I chose this case because I feel like it has a huge importance on today's society. Imagine living in a world that was still segregated by race? Over the years, we've Learn a lot of different valuable things from the opposite race. Has segregation of race was still a huge thing, things would have been different. This case was a huge steps during the civil rights movement. It was a huge accomplishment, As it made it possible for blacks to go to the same school as the whites. The reason why it was huge for black people is because those schools were usually top school. During segregation time, things favored the whites. Black kids were sent to the worst schools once the country while the  whites were favored to go to top schools. Nowadays, we live in a time that segregation is only done by wealth. The top schools are so expansive that certain class can't afford the schools and they end up going to the lower school. Segregation still exists, it's just being done differently.
