The fourteenth amendment in 1953 was the federal law that guaranteed the separation between black and white children in public schools. The goal in this case was to make it possible for young students to attend their community’s schools without being discriminated and segregated. The law stated that schools needed to be separate but “equal”, which in other words protects discrimination against the oppressed. The problem began when children needed to go to school and there weren’t any around their hometown. Children needed to go to the same race school if they wanted to attend and become a professional in the future. In the case of Brown v. Board of Education the issue that was affecting every citizen in the country was school segregation. After the court’s decision to allow different races to attend the same schools and classes, every child eligible to be admitted in any school of their choice. In conclusion I think that the case of Brown vs. Board of Education was the decisive factor in allowing everyone to receive a fair education.
