LAD #37: Brown vs. Board of Education

In Topeka, Kansas, a young lady named Linda Brown stood up for something probably no other black girl would have the courage to face in 1951. Brown wanted to enter a white school because her black school was 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. 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 wwas 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", thus it was deemed unconstitutional and Brown was given her one shining moment.
