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

Black children had been denied admission to segregated white public schools and the U.S, Supreme Court concluded that segregation of black school children "generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone... And language in Plessy v. Ferguson contrary to this finding is rejected."
I totally agree with this decision, because the I do believe that the moment they separate people, the inequality will begin.




Brown v. Board is different from Sweatt v. Painter because for Sweatt v. Painter had held that black people must be admitted to the previously segregated University of Texas Law school because no separation but equal facility existed in the state, but Brown v. Board did not have that.
