Brown v. Board of Education

1952-1954

A Supreme Court Case to test the desegregated schooling.

It started with a coloured girl named Brown who lived closer to the white school than the coloured school, but she still had to go to th coloured school which was located across town. Therefore, her father sued the school leading up to this court case. The court's justices stated that segregation by race in public schools is inherently unequal.

NAACP brought the case to court and was behind everything regarding the desegregation of public education.
