L.Q: What was the impact of Brown vs Board of Education?
Brown v. Topeka (1954)
Starter:
One thing I can infer from these sources is that the South
Carolina state spent more money on educating white people.
This is evident in the provenance of the sources as it claims that
white schools were paid ‘$170 per year’ and the black schools
were paid ‘$43 per year’.
Another thing I can infer from these sources is that the black
schools were cramped and uncomfortable. This is evident in
source A as one classroom from a black school consisted of
several children cramped together and numerous students
sharing one textbook.
Brown v. Board of Education:
Linda Brown was a black schoolgirl who had to walk miles
past her local ‘white-only’ school to get to a segregated
black school (this was legal under the Jim Crow laws)
When the Brown family tried to complain at a state court,
the ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson was used to say that the
schools were ‘separate but equal’
In 1952, NAACP took Linda’s case and put them with 5
other desegregation cases and took them to the Supreme
Court
Led by the lawyer Thurgood Marshall, NAACP argued that
segregated education was clearly not ‘separate but equal’
and also provided scientific evidence that segregated
