Brown v. Board of Education | BRI's Homework Help Series

Brown v Board of Education was a case brought to the Supreme Court in 1954 after Linda Brown, an African American student in Kansas, was denied access to the white-only schools nearby her house. Future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was the lawyer for the case, and argued that segregated schools were inherently unequal. Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Linda Brown and declared segregation unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment through incorporation under the premise that the bill of rights also applies to the states. This is one of the landmark cases that led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Great video for the first 3:25. After that, it attempts to give a happy ending, as if Brown vs Board and the Civil Rights Act solved systemic racism. The video completely brushed over the systematic racism and brutality that defined the Civil Rights era. We've effectively created a separate society today by allowing schools to be funded by property taxes and having a welfare system that effectively traps people in poverty.

Good work. I have only one quibble. There wasn't just one "Civil Rights Act"--there were three after the Brown v. Board decision. During the Eisenhower administration, there was the 1954 Civil RIghts Act, the first such law passed since Reconstruction, and the 1960 Civil RIghts Act, which closed some loopholes and extended some provisions in the 1957 law. Both were weakened by Democrat opposition in the Senate. THEN came the 1964 Civil RIghts Act, which was much stronger. But it's not right to think that it was the only, or even the first, such action.

[@jessicapeterson8311]

I strongly disagree with the "there were no differences between the quality of the two schools" Mr. Marshall was correct to say there was definitely inequalities between the two schools. Can you guess which school was inadequate??

[@TheZchristina97]

Yeah I'm suspicious of the intention behind putting that line in

[@RANDALLBRIGGS]

Do you have evidence, or is this just your feeling? It's not impossible that the black elementary school in Topeka could have been equal to the white elementary school in terms of facilities and teacher quality. The video properly made the point that the argument of schools being "equal" or not was less important than the argument of racial segregation itself. To focus on the issue of whether the black school was as good as the white school is to accept the fundamentally flawed logic of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.

Hi! At 0:59 you mention several different cases lead to the action of Brown vs. Board. What are the names of these cases? Researching for a project and I'm not positive but does this include the Briggs v. Elliot, Davis v. Board of Education of Prince Edward County (VA.), Boiling v. Sharpe, or the Gebhart v. Ethel cases?

The other were as follows: Briggs v. Elliot, Davis v. Board of Education of Prince Edward County (VA.), Boiling v. Sharpe, and Gebhart v. Ethel.

[@arellys.h2699]

Hi! Another case that is not nationally known (but played an important factor in Board vs Brown) was the Mendez vs Westminster case. It was about a family challenging their school district on the unconstitutional segregation between Mexican-Americans and Americans. The same pieces of evidence (social science) were used in the Brown vs Board case, leading to its success. I know that your comment was posted a year ago; but the Mendez case played a significant role and set the stage in the Brown vs Board!! Forgot to add that the Mendez case took place in California !!

[@the_village_elder]

You do a disservice by making it seem as if cities just started ending segregation voluntarily after the Supreme Court's ruling. Most municipalities ignored the ruling until the government started withholding federal funds. Only then would cities follow the law. In many states in the Southeast, cities didn't stop segregating schools until the 1970's.

[@ANOINTED1]

I just watched a video that stated that the Supreme Court rarely resolves an issue between two parties, well I like to suggest that the Supreme Court has a pecuniary interest in not having a plenary interest which puts a for sale sign on Justice. The segregation has an unacknowledged party that is drowned out by racial issues and misses the financial separation of powers that is based upon financial equity. It is incumbent upon Congress to maintain equity through commerce to ensure equal access to the law for the poor against the wealthy, being poor touches every race and it is not discriminative. However, being rich in the United States of America promotes Greed, unfaithfulness, theft, murder, lying, cheating, stealing, and every other moral law. This is why moral law has the greater power to lift a nation up or to remove it from the face of the earth. Immorality is how a country is destroyed from within, and capitalism Vs. Socialism is the art of the deal from keeping a country United and strong. What made the United States of America that shining light on the hill was its morality and its ability to maintain Truth Justice and equity, that is what plagues our nation today, and is what will will destroy us if the wealthy do not pay their fair share of taxation. We would not have such a large deficit if the elite had paid back what they owe to we the people signed E. Pluribus Unum..

@@joeymann1625 It's called De Facto Segregation. "For example, often the concentration of African-Americans in certain neighborhoods produces neighborhood schools that are predominantly black, or segregated in fact (de facto), although not by law (de jure). (Dictionary.com)" It's not mentioned, but in many public schools, it's predominantly hispanic or of another minority. Which is why integration of schools is still being fought for to this very day. Don't worry, I was not aware of how big segregation still is until last year :((

[@joeymann1625]

@@arellys.h2699 segregation is the enforced separation of a thing to another in this case the people of the predominant ethnicity are usually born and adopt the house of their parents plus we all agree that enforced segregation is terrible but I do not see the problem schools nowadays are all around the same quality. Even the Topeka schools in the video were around the same quality and this is when enforced segregation is in full effect, the concept of defacto segregation is a way the left tries to oppress themselves

[@arellys.h2699]

@Joey Mann although I see your perspective, it does not always have to be enforced segregation for it to be considered segregation. Even though back then segregated schools might have had the same resources as of another school, it was still segregated due to race , ethnicity, or origin. As one judge stated “seperate is never equal.” (Supported of course by the 14th amendment ). Although segregation in today’s time isn’t as racially enforced as back then, it’s segregated more than ever; because of the lack of diversity found in many public schools.
