Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas

In a series of cases, there had been the arguement that Black children should be allowed at the White schools.  All of these cases were denied, taking into consideration Plessy v. Ferguson.  Sweatt v. Painter was one of these cases, but it said that there was now equal school for a particular college in Texas.  The Brown case got to the Supreme Court and had proved that segregation was being equalized.  The Court came to the decision ot determine if everything was truly equal in these segregated schools.  Justice Warren came to the conclusion that in no way could there ever be seperate but equal facilities.  By doing so, previous cases were overturned and that in the matter of schools, there could not be seperatee facilities, and that it went against the 14th Amendment
      I agree with the whole Supreme Court, in that seperate is not equal.  It is also an absurd notion that has no true place.  This had to be changed sooner or later to bring true equality.

Everyone firmly agrees with the ruling here.  At the time, however, there was much controversy.  Many people still wanted seperate facilities.  That all changed, and overtime it was accepted.  Today it is considered a very important outcome from the Supreme Court to ensure equality.
