Brown vs Board of Education
Brown v. Board of Education was a Supreme Court case in 1954 where the Court decided that it was wrong to have separate schools for Black and white children. The ruling said that even if the schools were meant to be "equal," separating students by race made Black children feel inferior and was unfair. The decision changed the law, making it clear that segregating schools was unconstitutional, and helped spark the Civil Rights Movement, pushing for more equality in American society. -
