Introduction to Brown V. Board of Education
The Brown V. Board of Education case was the United States Supreme Court case that shattered the racial lines between white and African American children in public schools. The unanimous decision is remembered as one of the greatest Supreme Court Decisions in history, and it ended segregation in all public schools nationwide. The Court had decided that segregation in public schools had violated a clause in the Constitution that promised equal rights would be given to all people, regardless of race. The case did not succeed in completely integrating schools, but it did, however, stimulate the Civil Rights Movement, a revolution for equality between all races.
