*Brown+v.+Board+of+Education

. Decided May 17th, 1954 1/1
 * Year the case was heard by the Supreme Court: **

In 1950, McKinley Burnett from the Topeka NAACP STANDS FOR??? brought the issue of THE “separate but equal” doctrine from Plessy v Ferguson does not apply to public education. THAT SENTENCE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE In February of 1951 the NAACP filed a case against it AGAINST WHAT? and it was to be named after Oliver L. Brown. Brown was one of the 200 plaintiffs from five different states who brought the case in front of the Supreme Court in 1951. This case deals with the issue of segregation between white and colored children in public schools. This is in violation in the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment. THIS SUMMARY IS VERY UNCLEAR AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND 3/5

Does segregation in public vicinities based on race violate the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment? WHAT DOES THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLASUE OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT SAY? TELL ME MORE!!! 4/5
 * Constitutional/Legal Issue: **

The cour SP ruling was unanimous in the decision to eliminate segregation in public schools across America. This decition SP didn't desegregate all public vicinities, but was a big step towards that goal. WHAT WAS THE DECISION BASED ON? GIVE SOME OF THE COURT''S REASONING 3/5
 * Decision or Holding: **

The significance of this court case is that the "Separate but equal" dictrine was never truly equal. The colored children didn't have the same benifits SP and nice things the white children had even though previous court cases said that they did. Having this issue resolved ment SP that people were treated more equal in the community and not discriminated against based on race. It was a giant step twards desegregation of public schools. IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME FOR THIS DECISION TO BE PUT INTO ACTION - PUT IN AN HISTORICAL CONTEXT 4/5
