The article I chose to read and evaluate was Brown vs. The Board of Education. This was a court case in 1954 in the hands of the supreme court. Within the hands of the supreme court, they made a landmark and unbelievable unanimous decision to overturn the previous court case of Plessy v. Ferguson of "Separate but Equal" in 1896. This then declared that "Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal".This was huge for African Americans and helped put a big step forward in civil rights. The unanimous decisions ended racial segregation and conformed to the 14th amendment which is equal protection for everyone. Before this court case the NAACP was working hard in many different cases to help fix school and public segregation of African Americans. This article relates to what we are learning in class because this week we started to talk about civil rights and court cases for blacks, minorities, or women and this court case falls into civil rights for African Americans. on this specific article my position is that everyone should be equal for everything and I agree with the supreme court with having a unanimous vote for the case and to over turn the other case of Plessy v. Ferguson.
