LAD #37: Brown vs. Board of Education (1954)

          In Topeka, Kansas, a young African American girl named Linda Brown stood up for something that many other black girls would not have had the courage to face in 1951. Brown wanted to enter a white school due to the fact her black school was much farther away than the white school. Brown's father asked the NAACP to see if they would be able to assist their side of the argument, and help Brown to get into the school. The white side argued that the black schools were still profitable by some as some became succeessful coming out of high school. Brown and the NAACP tried to argue that the term "seperate but equal" was not applicable to minorities. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren was the perfect man for Brown as he soon came to the conclusion that Brown was right. The minority position is no place for the term "seperate but equal", therefore it was deemed unconstitutional.
