Brown v. bored of eductation

Segregation was a huge issue at this period of time. African American children were denied the rights promised in the Fourteenth Amendment by a majority of public schools. Arguments about this issue came from Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware. Each case involved people representing African American children who were trying to obtain access to their local public schools without being denied because of their race. African American schools were suppose to equal to Caucasian school, but in reality, they were inferior. It was argued that the African American children were being sent a message that they were on a lower level than Caucasian children. The Board of Education argued that the segregation simply prepared the children for the segregation they would face in adulthood. The Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision did not abolish segregation in public areas, such as restaurants and restrooms, and they did not require desegregation of public schools by a specific time.What it did do was declare the mandatory segregation that existed in 21 states unconstitutional. It was a small step towards complete desegregation of public schools, but it was a step in the right direction. still till this day brown v,  bored of Education is till used in many court cases. it shows that still today 2010 people are still being treated unfairly
