LAD #37 Brown v Board of Education

This was a landmark case that cancelled the ruling of a previous case, Plessy v Ferguson, which stated that separate but equal facilities are allowed for African American people. The reason this debate arose again in this case was because a little girl, Linda Brown had to walk a mile to school everyday just to attend an African American school that didn't even have equal educational opportunities. This case was brought to the Supreme Court and was ruled in favor of Oliver Brown and her daughter by a unanimous decision that would change the landscape of segregation in the future.
