Brown v.s Board of Education

Updated: Jul 16, 2019

Brown:

-The brown family filed a lawsuit because their daughter was not allowed to enroll in a school close to home.

-Linda Brown was forced to go to a school that was a mile away while her white friends were going to a school much closer.

-The segregation of schools violates the laws of the 14th Amendment and makes blacks feel inferior to whites at a young age.

-It was a heavy burden for black students to get to their schools because of segregation.

-Separate but equal laws were violated because black students had to travel so far to get to their schools while white students had no trouble at all getting to school.

-Although black students still had a school to go to, white schools had far superior learning conditions than black students had.


Board of Education:

-Segregation of public schools is necessary.

-Black people are privileged to even have a school to go and to have a chance at an education but asking to be able to attend white people schools is a radical idea.

-There could be violence if African Americans and white people mixed into the same school.

-Separation of white and black schools is a necessity as it has been in our history for so long.

-The government has already taken steps for the African Americans to be able to have an education but that does not include having to desegregate schools.

-The separate but equal doctrine works and having separate schools between blacks and whites will prevent harassment and violence.
