Legalities in Education: The Case of Brown vs. Board of Education
Desegregation Paper
Problem of school desegregation was widely discussed many years ago and don’t loose its actuality even in our times. This work will be denoted to this topic and we will pay our attention on the importance of desegregation at schools; also we will stop at the civil rights and discrimination. In our work we will analyze them from different sides.
As we know topic of segregation and desegregation was raised more than fifty years ago. That’s mean that desegregation has its roots in the United States history. In fact if we will think about our past we will find the answer on all questions. At any rate, we should at first think about the times of slavery, when there were a lot of Negro slaves and they were perceived not like a people. Of course black slaves (like white slaves too) had no rights and no possibility of education. They were people of second or maybe even third sort. Negro slaves were important for the work on plantation and for any kind of work at all. When the slavery was cancelled and black people became free the situation changed, but these changes happened only due to struggle for them. Free white people got accustomed to the many years position and had no wish to change it. Black people stayed for them the same and attitude to them stayed the same. White parents didn’t want to saw black children at the one territory with their children and did all possible and impossible to exclude such variant. Black children cannot visit schools for white children and it was no chance to improve the situation. Remarkably, that it was no ways to do something with these incorrect rules and black people had complied with such rude discrimination.
As we understand the situation connected with education was hard and it seemed that there were no variants to improve it. But one day black man decided to change it for his daughter’s right protection.
Now I want to stop at this case and describe it in details.
