The Brown vs. Board of Education went on from December 9, 1952, until May 17, 1954. This was a significant ruling by the U.S Supreme Court establishing racial segregation in public schools in the United Sates is unconstitutional, even if segregated schools are otherwise comparable in quality. When they put the two colors together, the white students after being at school all day go tell their parents how they felt uncomfortable being in the classroom with someone who was a different color. It signaled the end of legalized racial segregation within the schools in the U.S.
Brown v. Board of Education, Second Round
Against segregation in schools
During these times, black students were crowded into a small space in the classroom, whereas white students had plenty of room. Cleary we can see how these students were handled differently from one another. Systems of education were far from being equal and accommodable. Now when it came to school funding, African American students received much less compared to white students. This means that white student's receiver better schooling. Studies and reports have shown that children being separated has no positive effects and instead serves to impede America’s social and economic development. During my classmates presenting, my fellow classmate mentioned how black students used to walk to school pass the white kids walking to theirs and how it lowered their self-esteem. This showed those kids that everyone should have same opportunities.
No matter what, African Americans are always seen as a minority. Black and white people held radically distant religious beliefs and worldviews. Because the United Sates was a distinct but equal country at the time, white people believed that God wanted them to be apart. This was because they felt that since they were separate since birth, there was no reason for them to ever grow together. Parents of white contended in court that their children would feel alienated if placed in a school with students who are not like them.
