BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION BACKGROUND INFO Linda Brown, daughter of Oliver Brown,
was required to attend an African American school
The school was on the other side of town
However, there was a white school only seven blocks away
When her parents tried enrolling her in the white school, their request was denied
Her parents sued the Board of Education, which created the basis for Brown vs. Board of Education

Brown vs. Board of Education: Kansas (Oliver Brown was from here), Delaware, District of Columbia, South Carolina, and Virginia

SEGREGATION Segregation is when African American
people could not attend the same schools as white people
White schools were better than African American schools
White schools would have more books in better condition
African American schools would be stuffy and cramped

Education for denying his daughter the right to attend the white school close to his house

THE OUTCOME In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled
segregation laws unconstitutional Segregation was said to violate the
Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution
Though Brown won the case, his victory only affected education rather than ending racism
The case led to the beginning of integration
