Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas



During 1950's the practice of segregation have invaded the public life of Americans and even regarding education. The segregation was legally allowed under the doctrine of "equal but separate."
Not everything changed after the decision of Brown v. Board of Education, but the way schools were run in the South changed. I believe if a society want to change in the long run, education must change and I believe this court case was almost as liberating as the Thirteen Amendment. This was a major step to rejecting discrimination and Plessy v. Ferguson ruling and accepting public equality.
