LAD#30 Brown V. Board of Education

The Brown v. Board of Education was an important decision made by the Supreme Court, which ultimately decided that seperate but equal for public schools is not fair. The decision led the way for the Civil Rights Movement to come. The NAACP said that "sperate, but equal schools" were unfair because it ultimately said that black students were inferior to white students. The Board of Education argued that the segregating of schools just prepared black children for the segregation of when they became adults. The case did not just challenge schools in Topeka, Kansas, but in other states where children were segregated.
