During 1954, Linda Brown, an African American girl applied to an all white public school in Topeka Kansas in which the board of education refused to admit her
With the denying admission of other African Americans, The NAACP took this as there moment to challenge segregated schools
the NAACP
Some Americans also believed that the segregation "was out of step with times"
She represented four cases that showed the repeated effect of African Americans being turned down for admissions at all white segregated schools and it wasn't a while until the case had already reached the U.S supreme court
In court Brown put up the constitutional issue on if the fourteenth amendment was being violated and questioned the separate but not equal principle
thus is the court!!
By taking a look at the effects of segregation relating to public education, Chief Justice Earl Warren states that segregation develops a feeling of inferiority in AA and could greatly effect AA with psychological impacts
The Court ruled unanimously and made the decision to overule the separate but equal principle
Chief Justice Earl Warren
That as for public education the separate but equal had no place and was to be removed.
The Court then concludes segregation as being unequal and a violation to the 14th amendment
