Product Description
After slavery ended, former slaves gained greater access to education, and free schools became available to children and adults. Over time, free schooling for African Americans in the South began to decrease, and the South became completely segregated. To make matters worse, in the court case Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation was legal. Believing the ruling was unconstitutional, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) hired lawyers like Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall to fight against segregation in schools. The NAACP started to look for African American parents who had children in public schools that were not equal to white schools. The five cases that make up Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, were heard by the Supreme Court. The Court s 1954 ruling completely changed the direction of American education. ... Read more

Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students and denying black children equal educational opportunities unconstitutional. The decision overturned earlier rulings going back to Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (90) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This victory paved the way for integration and the civil rights movement. For much of the ninety years preceding the Brown case, race relations in the U.S. had been dominated by racial segregation. This policy had been endorsed in 1896 by the United States Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson, which held that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were "equal," segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ("no State shall... deny to any person... the equal protection of the laws."). The plaintiffs in Brown asserted that this system of racial separation, while masquerading as providing separate but equal treatment of both white and black Americans, instead perpetuated inferior accommodations, services, and treatment for black Americans. Racial segregation in education varied widely from the 17 states that required racial segregation to the 16 that prohibited it. Brown was influence...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=66402 ...

(en français : Brown et autres contre le bureau de l'éducation de Topeka et autres) est un arrêt de la Cour suprême des États-Unis, rendu le 17 mai 1954 (arrêt 347 U.S. 483). Il est en général appelé simplement Brown v. Board of Education (Brown contre bureau de l'éducation). Il déclare la ségrégation raciale inconstitutionnelle dans les écoles publiques. Un arrêt complémentaire est rendu dans la même affaire le 31 mai 1955 (349 U.S. 294), et les deux arrêts sont aussi dits Brown I et Brown . L'arrêt est sans doute la plus importante des décisions de la cour Warren. Si techniquement, la décision Brown s'applique seulement au système d'éducation publique des États, l'arrêt Bolling v. Sharpe 349 U.S. 497 (1954), moins connu, est rendu le même jour et étend l'obligation au gouvernement fédéral. À l'issue de la Guerre de Sécession commence la période de la Reconstruction. L'armée occupe les États du Sud et impose l'émancipation des Afro-Américains. Trois amendements à la Constitution sont adoptés : En 1875, le Congrès adopte une loi des droits civiques (Civil Rights Act). Il s'agit d'un texte très bref qui interdit la ségrégation, dans de nombreux domaines. Pendant quelques années, la juris...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
