LAD #37: Brown vs. Board of Education

A problem arose in Topeka, Kansas, when a little African-American girl, Linda Brown, was denied the right to attend public school, one said to be just for whites. This case was about the segregation in public schools, and the NAACP was eager to help the case and end this segregation. The court case of Plessy v Ferguson was brought up, that established separate but equal, and this was ruled unconstitutional, and therefore the desegregation of public schools resulted. Sparking the Civil Rights Movement, and forever changing the United States.
