Brown v Board of Education: The Demise of the Separate by Equal Standard
This ten-page graduate research paper examines what influenced the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States in Brown v. Board of Education to decide that the separate but equal doctrine established by Plessy v Ferguson was inherently unequal. The author also discusses the influence the decision in Brown had on the educational system in America, including its influence on the civil rights movement, as well as the changed point of view of the Fourteenth Amendment as interpreted by the Warren Court justices.
