Brown+Vs.+Board


 * Brown Vs. Board ** 

 **BASIC FACTS OF THE CASES (more than one) (check video, [|Link 1], [|Link 2], [|Link 3])** It was a supreme court case that was figuring out if it was unconstitutional to have segregated schools.

They used the fourteenth amendment, the Plessy vs. Ferguson case, and psychology test showed that segregation had very negative effects on the children's lives.
 * MAIN ARGUMENTS OF THE PLAINTIFF (for integration) (check [|Link 1])**

The constitution didnt' say that African Americans and white people had to go to the same school, the segregation was normal, and did no harm to the children. Also, the schools had been doing everything they could to de-segregate the schools.
 * MAIN ARGUMENTS OF THE DEFENDANTS (for segregation) (check [|Link 1])**

The case really did divide the court, and made them truly think about the problems at hand. They thought that making the schools segregated might be unenforceable, and they also doubted the authority of making the schools segregated.
 * THE CHANGE IN THE COURT (leading to a decision) (check** [|**Link 1**]**)**

They said that it was unconstitutional, because the 14th amendment didn't specify if it was okay to have segregated schools. Also, education is one of the most important things in a child's life, and they didn't want to compromise that.
 * THE COURT DECISION (in your own words) (check** [|**Link 1**] **and Link 2)**

**ENFORCING THE DECISION (discuss "with all deliberate speed) (Check [|Link 1] ****)** This saying is very vague,  which gave segregationists a chance to resist the courts decision.

The resistance of white southerners was huge, and the court case erupted a huge flow of civil rights supporters.
