Brown v. Board of Education of Topek, Kansas (1954)

In general, Brown v. Board of Educations of Topeka, Kansas deals with the famous line "separate but equal." At the time schools were separated by the Jim Crow Laws, which stated that the all public places were separated by race. One black third grader, Linda Brown, had to walk to the black elementary school that was a little over a mile away from her house, while the all White's school was  just seven blocks away from her house. The communities argued that the Jim Crow Laws should be terminated completely and let everyone join together in equal schools. Together all of the cases regarding black children being denied entrance into white public schools became apparent in the one case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas.

Once reading this case i realized that this little girls could have died just by trying to get to her school. she could have been kidnapped or run over by a train while trying to cross the tracks. Also, when the little girl got to school she probably didn't even get the same education as the white schools did. Overall this little girl, who just wanted to learn, could easily get to the all white school, seven blocks away, not crossing train tracks, and just a straight shot there from her house. In Texas there wasn't even a single black school equal to the white schools, so this case's verdict was the potential turn around for the all black schools. This whole case was defiantly a violation of the fourteenth amendment.

In the end, the Browns won and their case by a landslide which was then the start of the elimination of the overall Jim Crow Laws. The third grader was able to attend the former all white school, and from then on the schools kept combining further and further. Today, all over the U.S., anyone can look onto a campus and find Blacks, Whites, Asians, Latinos, etc... Overall this was just the nudge that the schooling systems needed to start a whole diverse system in schooling.
