Brown v. Board of Education

Brown v. Board entitled students to receive a quality education regardless of their racial status. It also allowed for African American teachers to teach in any public school they chose, a privilege that was not granted before the Supreme Court ruling in 1954. The ruling set the foundation for the civil rights movement and gave African American’s hope that “separate, but equal” on all fronts would be changed. Unfortunately, however, desegregation was not that easy and is a project that has not been finished, even today.

Class debate main arguments:

For brown: for law, evoking the 14th amendment. sited case law to support her argument. different impact racism, children have run down buildings as schools, no books, no teachers. all gods children, we all should be treated the same. Jesus doesn't see the color of the skin.

In favor of segregation: It has what it is has been and what it should always be. go wants us to be separate, he created different races for a reason.
