Brown vs Board of Education was a lawsuit. Oliver Brown, an African American, thought segregation was unfair so he went to the NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to get them to sue the white schools. He presented his case to the state of Kansas as a lawsuit but then lost. The NAACP wasn't going to go down without a fight so they brought their case to the Supreme Court. Other lawsuits had been filed but lost so the states of Delaware,Kansas,South Carolina, and Virginia decided to make one big lawsuit. They said that there was no difference between black and white people besides their skin. The court thought over it for months sadly one of their justices died and had it replaced. The arguments were tough and the Justices had to decide on what to choose. Finally on May 17 1954 the court decided to close the case and it ended with non segregation 9-0. The justices said segregation was not fair and that all of the blacks and whites will not be segregated. I think that it was a very good decision and I would have agreed with the Supreme Court Justices. Segregation is not a good idea especially if the blacks aren't treated as the whites.

Linda Brown was a little AFrican American third grader. In 1951 she was denied when she enrolled in the white elementry school blocks form her house. She ended up having to walk about a mile to go to the closest African American school. With the help of the Brown's family the NAACP branch changled the segregation law. The Board of Education argued that segrgated schools helped prepare children for reality. The court then ruled in favor of the Board of Educaton, but the NAACP didnt give up since there case was brought to the suprem court. The NAACP won, consequently today people of all races unite in schools all over the contry.
ReplyDeleteSegregation suggests that they are not equal based on the color of their skin. I believe that segregation of children is the worst thing to put them through.
ReplyDeleteThe Brown vs Board of Education was about how Oliver Brown went to the NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) since his daughter had to walk one mile just for her to get the black elementery school while the white elemetery school was seven blocks away from their domicile.When he went to the NAACP for help they were eager to help him since they wanted challenge segregation in public schools.On October 1,1951 Oliver Brown and the NAACP brought their case to the Supreme Court with other cases that involved segregation.On December 9th,1952 when the court first heard about the case they had failed to reach an agreement,although during the reargument the court had decided for both sides to dicuss about the circumstances.Then on May 17,1954 they decided to close the case since they thought segregation was not fair.

Brown vs Board of Education occurred in the early 1950's.It was racial segregation in public school.Even though,all schools were given a district to be equal,mostly African American schools were far inferior to their white counterparts.An African American, Oliver Brown, tried to put his daughter into a white school,but the principal refused to let her in.He later went to the NAACP for help.Later,the U.S District Court of Kansas heard the case of the Brown's,and they had a trial and said that segregated was like a message to African American children to whites.Finally,they proved that schools were not equal.

Brown vs Board of Education was a lawsuit. The people were demanded that the black people shouldn't be in the bus with the white people. He said that the people hase the same skin but not the same color skin. Brown and the NAACP appealed to the Supreme Court on October 1, 1951 and their case was combined with other cases that challenged school segregation in South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware. And they went to the NAACP.We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities. The NAACP was eager to assist the Browns, as it had long wanted to challenge segregation in public schools.

The Brown vs Board of Education issue started when Oliver Brown's daughter Linda was in kindergarden and had to walk more then seven miles to go to school and Brown didnt like that idea so he went to the white school seven blocks away but they turned him down.So Brown went to the NAACP to report this issue so NAACP disided to go to the Surprem Court about this but they didnt see the problem.One of the members of the court passed on and he was replaced so it took the court ALOT of time to think about this.On May 17 1954 the court said this was unfair so the court put all black students in white schools.There was a little problem because some people had a problem with this dission.This was a great choice because Brown didnt just change his daughters education.....he changed EVERYBODY'S education.Oliver Brown is one of the MANY people that changed the world forever.He was one of the people that made the world today a box of crayola crayons.

Brown vs. the Board of Education was about how an african american third grader, Linda Brown had to walk a mile to school every day because the white elementry school,in her neighborhood, deinied her enrollment.So her father Oliver Brown went to the NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and they were ready to challenge the segragation law in most public schools.when Mr.brown and the naacp brought thier case to court an agreemant could not be reached.In the end they thought segragation was not fair because access to public services or education is not equal if it is seprate.

The Brown vs. Board of Education lawsuit was started in 1951. Oliver Brown, and thirteen other parents tried to enroll their children in the local white schools 1950. They were denied because they were African Americans. They were told they had to go to one of the four schools in the city for African American children. These parents filed suit against the board of education. Blacks everywhere were not treated fairly. For every $150.00 spent on white children at the white schools only $50.00 was spent on African American children at the black schools. This is unfair because people of different color were treated like delinquents. This is another reason why many minorities had to stand up for themselves.

The Brown vs. Board of Education was a lawsuit that started in the 1950's. This lawsuit started because the Brown family wanted to enroll their son Oliver Brown into a white school, but they were denied by the principal. The Browns then went to McKinley Burnett, the head of Topeka's branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and asked for help. Soon many others started to support the Browns. Then they went to court on October 1, 1951. The case integrated with many other cases of school segregation.Finally, in 1954 the decision was made that schools would not allow segregation.
ReplyDeleteOliver Brown is unsatisfied about her daughter not being enrolled in a proper school(specifically a White school). Her daughter, Linda Brown ends up walking for miles to reach her African-American school. Brown went to Monroe Elementary school (a segregated school) to enroll, but was turned down. Brown goes to the NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to report Monroe Elementary about not accepting his daughter. The Supreme Court became involved and soon this went to the court. Brown won and ended up getting his daughter to go to the school as a unsegregated school. This case led to the end of racial segregation in schools.

Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka is a lawsuit that was started by just one little problem..Oliver Brown, an African American,thought it was unfair for segregation for children to be separated in schools.For example, whites would be separated from blacks. So he went to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to sue the white schools.When he went to Kansas for lawsuit but he lost.he actually went to court for it but lost.So then he went to the NAACP for help but lost again. They weren't giving up so fast so they decided to fight and went to the Supreme court. Other states joined in with the Kansas,Delware,South Carolina, to make one large lawsuit .Finally on May 17,1954 the court decide to close the case and it ended with non-segregation 9-0.The justices said that segregation was unfair to blacks and whites know they will not be segregated anymore. I personally think that the the supreme court mad a good choice.To me segregation is not acceptable and its not fair to blacks to be treated at a lower level than whites. Now a days every child may be united in public schools or maybe even private.

Brown vs. board of Education is a lawsuit.Oliver Brown was actually convinced to join the lawsuit by Scott.For when you walk depending where you live to go to a black school is six blocks away.For when you go to a white school it is seven blocks away when you walk.The NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Clored people) leadership has directed the parents to enroll their children to the closest neighborhood in fall of 1951.The District Court ruled in favor of board of education.They had a state law requiring "seperate but equal" segregated facilties for blacks and whites in railway cars.To me i think some of these things are unfair.

The Supreme Court's opinion in the Brown vs Board of Education case of 1954 legally ended decades of racial segregation in America's public schools. Attorneys originally argued cases on appeal to the Court in 1952, the featured document, School Segregation Cases - Order of Argument, offers a window into the three days in December of 1953 during which the attorneys reargued the cases. A reargument was necessary because the Court desired briefs from both sides that would answer five questions, all having to do with the attorneys' opinions on whether or not Congress had segregation in public schools in mind when the 14th amendment was ratified. The first case listed, Briggs v. Elliott, originated in Clarendon County, South Carolina, in the fall of 1950. Listed third in the order of arguments, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was initially filled in February of 1951 by three Topeka area lawyers, assisted by the NAACP's Robert Carter and Jack Greenberg. After that the court concluded that:

The Brown vs. Board of Education was a lawsuit for African Americans to be able to go to white people schools and be treated with the same treatment as the white students would get. Kindergartner Linda Brown was denied from a all white schools because she was an African American. Her father Oliver Brown had went to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to stop segregation in the schools from black and white. At first he had lost, then again he had lost until all the states (Delaware, Virginia, South Carolina, and Kansas) made one big lawsuit for segregation to stop in schools and to let African Americans to be able to go to a all white school. Finally the court had said yes and they had gotten what they wanted. See if you fight for something you really want, you probably end up getting it.
ReplyDeleteBrown vs. Board of Education lawsuit was started in 1951. Linda’s father, Oliver Brown, and thirteen other parents tried to enroll their children in the local "white schools" in the summer of 1950, but were turned down because they were African Americans. They were told they must attend one of the four schools in the city for African American children. These parents filed suit against the Topeka Board of Education for their children. Oliver Brown was the first parent listed in the lawsuit, so the case was named after him. At the time of the lawsuit, Blacks everywhere were not treated fairly. For every $150.00 spent on white children at the "white schools" only $50.00 was spent on African American children at the "black schools." The parents of the African American children thought that their school was not treated as fairly because they were colored. They did not have the most current textbooks, not enough school supplies, and overcrowded classrooms.Oliver was turned down by the school, he went to the NAACP to fight to get Linda in the school. The NAACP hired lawyers to fight for african american children all around the United States to be able to go to the same schools as white kids. This case was lost at the state level. The state courts referred to the case of Plessy v. Ferguson which allowed separate but equal school systems for black and white children. Three years later the case finally ended on May 17, 1954 and was won by Linda and all other african americans! With time, effot,a dream and belif anything is possible

Brown's suit had the backing of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).

The Brown vs Board of Education was a law suit that said that white children and African Amercan childrens should go to different schools. This started in 1951 by the board of education in Topeka Kansas. Oliver tried to put her daughter Linda in a white children school followed by 13 other parentes. They were turned down because they were African Americans. They told the parentes that they had to put thier children in one of the four African schools in the city. In the schools children were treated diffrently. Black people need to pay $150 for the school and the white people had to pay only $50. The African American children didn't have the supplies that the white children did. The parentes thought that it was not fair.When Oliver and the other parents were not allowed to put thier kids in the white kids school they went to the NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).They hired lawyers to fight to get African American children to white children schools. The NAACP lost in the state court so they took the case to the United States Supreme Court. The case ended on May 17, 1954 after three long years . The Supreme Court said that it was not fair to have white and black students seperated in diffrent schools. Many states had difficulties on putting the white and black children together because many people still went against the black people.

Brown vs Board of Education was a representative action in 1951. It was told that it separated public schools for black and white people. Plaintiff, Oliver L. Brown was a parent, an assistant pastor at his local church, and an African American. His daughter Linda had to walk six blocks for the bus stop to get to her school that was a mile away. There was another school close by that was seven blocks away but only whites were allowed. By fall 1951 the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) leadership directed the parents to enroll their children to the nearest school by their houses. But they were denied by the schools and were sent back. In the end they we given what they wanted. I think that were should all be thankful that we didn't suffer this moment today and it happened before hand. A lot of people sacrificed in what they believed in.

P.S. What do you think our school would be if we were still segregated? White?? Or Black??
Browns vs Board of Education was held in the 1950s. Brown vs. Board of Education was the landmark case that resulted in desegregation of public schools.The Board of Education argued that segregation was a fact of life in the states where these children attended school, and that segregated schools helped prepare the children of what their adult lives would be.Blacks and whites couldn't go to school with each other back in the early 1950s. In Topeka, Kansas, in 1951 Linda Brown lived near a white elementry school but when she went to the school with her father Mr.Brown she got denied. Topeka's NAACP branch was glad to assist Mr. Brown in challenging the segregation law.

Brown vs. Board of Education was the landmark case that resulted in desegregation of public schools. In 1951, Linda Brown was a little African-American girl that was attending third grade at a public school in Topeka, Kansas.She lived a few blocks from a White elementary school, but when her father had tried to put her in the neighborhood school,but unfortunately his request was denied. In May 1954, the Supreme Court ruled against this “separate but equal” position in favor of school integration. Southern states, and many of the states bordering the south, did not react well to the Brown vs. Board of Education decision to integrate public schools. This decision added credibility to civil rights movements in the South, and became a law for future court decisions regarding race relations in America.

The brown vs the board of education was about a man named oliver brown who was unhappy about the district/school african americans went to. So he didn't just stand there with hisarms crossed he made a "move" and did something,instead of waiting for a miracle to just...happen. so what he did was he went up and said that if it was necessary for the school to divide into two seprate schools instead. They rejected any afro american who would desire to be accepted into "white school" everything was the same and remain that was untill...this movement began. It got worse as the days past so they dicided just to divide the school blacks in one side of the school and whites in the other half,but not only was it african american race in the other side but,there was also hispanics in the same side of the building. This movement included Oliver Brown when his daughter was denied at an ALL whites school. Which was a magnificant education and fantastic ediquet. This movement led on untill a.group that inclueded malcom X, martin luther king jr. -vanessa 3rd period smiles(:
ReplyDeleteBrown Vs the board of education was a big decision made by United states supreme court. This decision was about states making separate schools for black and white children. In 1896 this law overturned another supporting state segregation. But on may of 1954 Warrens Court decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This was supported by the fourteenth amendment of the united states constitution. This ruling gave way for integration and the civil rights movement.

The suprien court of Brown vs The Boar of education was a terible thing that they did. That lead to dab infuenses to kid and it also drove out over 450 kids out Moton high school. When it was time for the juge to diced the juge had no idea which one to choces so he orders to rehear the cases in the fall. I think that puting the kids through all of the races people was a dad influenes to the white kids. It was a dad idea to make them go through all of that because when they grow up their are going to think that a black person dad and only have white friends.

Brown vs the Board of Education was a landmark decision of the USA Supreme Court,which made state laws,separating public schools.The big question was that,if white and blacks should be in a school together.The white boys and girls were getting a better education than the black people.Someone had to stop this and an African American named,Oliver Brown decided to help.My honest opinion is,that this was unfair for the other black people.When Oliver was a kid he had also been treated unfairly and that is why he decided to help.This is also why the case was named after him too.This was one of the biggest cases that I have ever heard before.

The Brown vs the Board of Education was a landmark decision of the USA Supreme Court,which made state laws separating public schools.The main reason of this is that if white and black (no racism)students were able to be together in school.This reason was that white students were getting a better education than the black students (no racism).So this person named Oliver Brown decided to help the black school camidy to get the white and black students in a school to get all the same amount of education.In this case was also named after his last name.

The story of Brown v. Board of Education, which ended legal segregation in public schools, is one of hope and courage. When the people agreed to be plaintiffs in the case, they never knew they would change history. The people who make up this story were ordinary people. They were teachers, secretaries, welders, ministers and students who simply wanted to be treated equally.

Brown Vs. Board of education was a lawsuit held against white schools, claiming schools should have an equal budget. This was done by a man named Oliver Brown, who went to the NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to help present the case. When presented, it was turned down. The NAACP would not let Oliver down, though. They took the case to the supreme court. They said there is nothing different about blacks from whites other than their skin, so their education should be the same. At last, on May 17, 1954, the case was closed. 9-0, all supreme court members agreed that Oliver and the NAACP, as well as many other plaintiffs against the white schools, were right. This decision changed history. I would agree with the supreme court members as well, segregation is hurtful both mentally and emotionally, and it almost tore this country in two. I'm glad the court made their decision.
ReplyDeletebrown vs. board of education was a lawsuit held againest white schools and in delaware there were black children were not getting picked up white people like a judge were following the fourteenth amendment which is that " no state shall ... deny to any person the equal protection of the law" separate facilities for the separate races were "equal."
