Brown vs Board of Education
Brown V. The Board of Education is a fundamental case that changed equality in the USA. Linda Brown, daughter of Oliver Brown, was a girl who simply wanted to go to a nearby school in Topeka, Kansas. The only issue: the school was “white only.” This caused the Browns, with the help of the NAACP, to sue. They deemed that racial segregation was unconstitutional under the 14th amendment. Eventually the Browns won the case, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that “Seperate was not equal.”
