School Segregation and Brown v Board: Crash Course Black American History #33

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In 1955, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that public schools should be racially integrated, and overturned the separate but equal doctrine established in Plessy v Ferguson decades before. This was made possible by a concerted legal effort spearheaded by the NAACP. Beginning in the 1930s, the NAACP's legal defense fund (led by Thurgood Marshall at the time of the Brown Decision) pursued a strategy of bringing cases to court that would expand the civil rights of Black Americans. This multi-decade effort culminated in the Brown decision, with many other victories along the way

My aunt and uncle integrated an elementary school in the 1st grade 2 years after Ruby Bridges the ugliness they experienced and abuse they experienced from ADULTS as 6 year old children is UGLY my aunt, Ruby Bridges are still alive, this is not a long as time ago like folks want to make it seem.

One thing I-d like to know (even if it-s not important)-what was that incident, when the national guard had to make sure black children could go to a white school? I remember this scene from -Forrest Gump- so vividly. I always thought it was connected to the Brown v. Board of Education case. :)

Imagine not going to school for 5 years during your formative years and then having society demand you be a productive member of it.
On the other hand it-s not the first or last time local communities shut down entire community services to prevent black people from using them smh

Last year, my history class focused on segregation. And boy let me tell you that it took multiple court cases to integrate schools. The resegregation that is going on today is more subtle than the overt segregation from those times. John Oliver did a video about this.

Many of the key figures in the 1950s Civil Rights movement were WWII veterans tired of the United States lagging behind the rest of the democratic world. Oliver Brown and Medgar Evers are just two examples.

Today, the innequalities of resources in schools with marority white vs. minorities are still prevalent. How is it that in 2022 we are still -Separate but NOT equal-?

Segregation is still a major issue in many schools today. While not as blatant and egregious back then, many schools are still segregated

Did seriously nothing changed for segregation in schools for more than sixty years! I'd be utterly hopeless if it was my country.

This is living history. let us not allow for those who do not know our history to attempt to re-live it. Keep these stories alive.
