Background
Court Case
- NAACP encouraged African Americans to enroll their children into all white schools including Oliver Brown´s daughter Linda
- all were rejected
- 1950 Oliver Brown Filed a class-action lawsuit
- segregation by its nature was a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause
- Federal District Court rejected
Court Case
- 1953: 5 similar cases from diffrent states and Brown v. Board of Education went to supreme court
- Justice Warren (NAACP):
- seperating others couses feelings of inferiority which could be permament - segregated schools could not be made equal
13 cases in Topeka, the NAACP encouraged a number of African American parents to try to enroll their children in all-white schools but they were all rejected
> Filed a class-action lawsuit
> the NAACP’s main argument was that segregation by its nature was a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause
The Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including former enslaved people—and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.”
Suprem court rejected seperated but equal
5 similar cases from diffrent states so they could go to court again
Segregated schools could not be m,ade equal
Justice warren: seperating others couses feelings of inferiority which could be permament -> unequal

- Though the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board didn’t achieve school desegregation at first, the ruling fueled the civil rights movement in the United States.
- lead to desegregation of public places like hotels, restaurants
- overcoming the "seperate but equal" doctrine
