Introduction

Brown v. Board was a court case in which African American families, with help of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), fought to abolish segregation and for equality and freedom for all. According to”National Archive” On May 17, 1954, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren delivered the unanimous ruling in the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. State-sanctioned segregation of public schools was a violation of the 14th amendment and was therefore unconstitutional. 

Goals

Many people were involved in the Brown v. Board because they were all affected by segregation. The main people involved were Oliver Brown and his family along with help from the NAACP. Oliver Brown was the father of Linda Brown who was denied access to an all white school. The goal of Brown v. Board was to stop separating children based on race because “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”

Impact

After the Brown v Board decision there have been many impacts. Some of the impacts have included striking down segregation in multiple schools, making possible advances in desegregating housing, public accommodations, and allowing students to get a higher education ( Legal Defense Fund). This event has helped influence multiple practices, beliefs, and systems. Some of those being how schools have gotten rid of segregation over all. It allows people of color to be with whites. Another way that the Brown v. Board of Education has influenced things, and is how schools have multiple programs for students that need help in a language like for example ESL! 

As students we can keep the learning facilities clean and we can take learning seriously because if they never fought for what they fought for we would not be here today and we would have very poor facilities for people of color and we would not be able to get honor classes.
